Chapter 46
The first ravet meming sun shone through the Grant residence Yasimin was woken up by Gracie’s trusted maid. “Mrs Grant, it’s time to wake up. The guests are starting to
The minute Yasmin heard that the guests were aching, her drowsiness instantly vanished. She shot up from bed, but as soon as she moved her body, a wave of soreness washed over her body
Her arms, thighs, collarbone, and waist were all covered with hickeys. They stood in stark comparison against her fair skin.
The maid was a woman in het 40s. The minute she saw Yasmin, she immediately understood what had transpired the night before. A teasing smole flickered across her face, but upon remembering that Yasmin was Caleb’s wife, she quickly suppressed it.
Yasmin recalled the events of last night and sighed. The night truly made one act impulsively
Nonetheless, she had no regrets and wasn’t overly bothered by it. After all, such things were perfectly normal between two consenting adults. It was just a fleeting moment of impulse–nothing that would change anything
Yasmin put on a stunning blue evening gown. The sleeves were long enough to cover her arms, but she had to carefully conceal the hickeys on her collarbone with foundation Just as she stepped out of the bedroom, her phone rang
Yasmin, where are you? I don’t see you anywhere,” Logan said in a displeased tone. The background noise on the other end of the phone sounded rather chaotic. It was clear that he had already arrived.
Yasmin briefly informed him that she had been held up and would be at the banquet hall shortly. As the in–laws of the Grant family, the Whitmore family immediately drew a lot of attention upon their arrival.
Yasmin spotted her family in the crowd. Logan was dressed in a sharp suit while Wanda and Veronica were dressed elegantly in evening gowns. Meanwhile, Jimmy stood to the side, shitting on his feet and looking utterly unserious
Yasmin personally escorted them to greet Gracie
“Yasmin, did you bring the birthday gift?” Wanda asked with a smile
“What birthday gift?” Yasmin was confused.
Veronica chimed in, “The gift we prepared for Mrs. Grant Senior’s birthday, of course. Didn’t you say the emerald bead necklace was our family’s gift to her?
So, this was their plan all along!
As expected, the Whitmore family wasn’t willing to spend a single penny of their own and were only looking for ways to drain her and Annie’s money.
Yasmin sneered, “Veronica, you were there on the day of the auction Aren’t you clear about what happened? You weren’t willing to pay for my mother’s heirloom, so it ended up being purchased by someone else.”
Hearing this, Gracie frowned. The surrounding socialites had heard about this matter, but now, the people involved were right in front of them. It felt like they had front–row seats to a live scandal They perked their ears, eager to catch every word.
Veronica came well–prepared. She deliberately glanced at Gracie and let out a sigh. “But Theard that the mysterious buyer has already gifted the emerald bead bracelet to you! wonder who could be so generous? They’re willing to spend millions just to win your favor.”
She was practically implying that Yasmin had another man outside her marriage. Everyone knew that Yasmin’s pillar of support in the Grant Lamily was Gracie. The reason why Veronica said those words in the first place was to get Gracie to dislike Yasmin.
All eyes shifted between Grace and Yasmin Yasmin stood quietly to the side as if what Veronica had said had nothing to do with her. The smile on Gracle’s face hardened. She glanced between Veronica and Yasmin, clearly scrutinizing them.
“Yasmin is done tor!” someone in the crowd murmured.
Veronica’s lips curved into a satisfied smile. However, it quickly faded when she heard Gracie say, “So, it wasn’t Caleb who bought it
Gracie was filled with mixed emotions. She was shocked, angry, and also embarrassed. “Does our family lack money? How could Caleb let his mother–in–law’s family heirloombe bought by someone else? This is outrageous! I’m going to teach him a lesson when I get the chance!”
The crowd was dumbfounded. Was that all Gracie gathered from their conversation?
