Falling for My Contractual Wife

The implication was clear. Emily should direct her resentment toward Grace.

Emily was completely deceived by Louise's seemingly frail demeanor, believing that her condition was a result of being bullied by someone named Grace.

In her heart, Emily had already labeled Grace as an Angel Bitch.

Noticing a change in Emily's expression, Louise continued, "Her greatest talent is to keep people on edge. When she was still married to Brian, she was always involved with Justin, the illegitimate son of the Vance family. Now, I have no idea whether she has managed to find her way back to the Francis Group because she has fallen out with Mr. Vance. As for her motives for returning to the Francis Group, I think it's quite obvious to anyone with a discerning eye..."

Emily raised an eyebrow. "If you are Brian's Louise, why don't you do something to drive her away?".

Louise put on a pitiful look and sighed. "A woman like Grace always has a way of making men remember! forcefully try to get rid of her, it would only make the men feel more sympathetic toward her." If I were toContent held by NôvelDrama.Org.

Emily inwardly commented that Louise was spineless.

After the music ended, Grace, who had finished dancing, felt a bit hungry and went to the snack area to find some refreshments.

At that moment, a man approached her. "Miss, I have been observing you for quite some time tonight. May I have the honor of this dance?"

Grace did not recognize this man, but she could tell from his attire that he was someone of some status. However, she did not want to get involved with someone she did not need to know. She smiled and said, "I'm sorry, but I'm a bit tired."

The man seemed not to have expected her refusal and was visibly taken aback.

Just then, Emily suddenly rushed over and pushed her forcefully. "Who do you think you are, refusing my brother's invitation to dance? Who are you to put on such a haughty attitude?" Gary's eyebrows furrowed as he grabbed Emily. "Emily, what are you doing?"

Emily looked at Gary. "Gary! Don't tell me you've fallen for her in just three hours of being here! She's a bitch, the best at seducing men!"

She turned her head toward Grace. "Just now, was that playing hard to get? You are quite resourceful."

Grace took a deep breath, not wanting to engage with her, and turned to walk away.

However, in Emily's eyes, Grace's action was seen as arrogance. She had never been ignored by someone before in her life.

Furious, Emily blocked her path. "You stop right there! Did I say you could leave? How dare you!"

Grace frowned. "Miss, I don't know you. Why should I listen to you?"

Emily's lips twitched in disbelief. "You've got some nerve to say that again?"

"I said I don't know you. Move out of my way!"

Emily's eyes widened, and without warning, she raised her hand and slapped Grace.

Grace turned her head to the side, her cheek feeling a bit numb. This woman was more overbearing than Ava she had ever

met.

But Grace didn't understand what she had done to offend her.

While Emily was still reveling in the satisfaction of having slapped someone, Grace returned the favor with a slap of her own.

Emily seemed to have not expected Grace to fight back and was stunned, taking a long moment to recover.

Gary, witnessing this scene, was also taken aback.

A crowd had gradually begun to form around them. Grace didn't want to draw attention, so she turned and tried to leave.

Emily was completely enraged and lunged to strike, but Gary quickly stopped her. "Emily, don't make a scene here. This is the anniversary celebration of the Francis Group. Don't mess things up!" 2/2
