Chapter 18 Watch Where You Are

That night, Emily held a huge party in Grace’s honor at the best club in Darai.

The party was lively and extremely loud. On the stage, Emily slung an arm around Grace and raised her glass.

“A toast to my best friend Grace, who’s just escaped hell and has been reborn again!”

“Cheers!”

“Congratulations!”

Grace downed the entirety of her glass in one gulp and pulled Emily into the crowd.

“Babe, this is the scion of HB Group. He has a net worth of billions of dollars.

“That’s the president of Paradin Enterprises. He’s got a great figure, doesn’t he?”

Grace followed Emily as she introduced numerous people to her. As she turned, she bumped

into someone.

“Are you blind? You stepped on my foot!” A shrill voice sounded from behind her.

Gra raised an eyebrow and scoffed. She recognized that voice. It was her ex–sister–in–law,

Celia Hawkins.

Emily put herself between Grace and Celia. “Who the hell are you? Why are you so rude?”

Celia was annoyed about ruining the shoes she had just bought. She looked up from her shoes and found herself standing in front of Grace.

“Oh, I see, it’s the woman my brother dumped,” she said wryly.

Celia had come to Darai with Yvonne. It hadn’t been easy for her to convince Susan to let her come, but she had managed it in the end.

Emily was furious when she heard Celia. She rolled up her sleeves, prepared to fight, but Grace stopped her.

“It’s alright. Just ignore her.” NôvelDrama.Org is the owner.

In the past, Grace had tolerated Celia for Benjamin’s sake. But now, Celia meant nothing to her.

She wasn’t even worth getting annoyed over.

Grace cast a disdainful look at Celia before her eyes landed on Yvonne.

She was dressed in a loose tracksuit and flat shoes, looking every bit pregnant.

Grace scoffed. What was she doing here? She should be staying at home and taking care of her

Yvonne didn’t bother to hide her hostility this time. After all, she had come to Darai to speak to Benjamin about Grace. But the subject of their discussion

It was the second time she had met Grace. Grace looked aloof and elegant, which made Yvonne feel uneasy.

Grace, on the other hand, wasn’t interested in either of them. She pulled Emily away and tried

to leave.

Celia had never been ignored before, much less by Grace.

Enraged, she began to tell Grace off without caring about where they were.

“It’s one thing to be dumped, but why did you have to make Hawkins Group suffer such a big loss? If you don’t settle the issue with the expo today, I’ll ge

Grace pulled Emily along and kept walking.

“You’re infertile, anyway! You must have found your next target. That’s why you divorced my brother so quickly! You’re an embarrassment to my family!”

Even if Grace could ignore Celia, Emily wasn’t as mild–tempered as her.

She would fight anyone who spoke badly about her best friend. She wasn’t scared of anything.

She wrenched herself out of Grace’s grip and strode over to Celia. Grabbing a glass of champagne from a passing waiter, she threw the contents of the

“This is my f**king party, b*tch. Who do you think you are, slandering my best friend in front of me? Watch where you are before running your mouth!” o

She jeered in Celia’s face. Everyone around them laughed as well.

Celia had never been treated like this before. She knew that she looked horrible, especially since the champagne had smudged her makeup.

She turned to Yvonne pleadingly. “Yvonne, help me!”
