Chapter 148

Visitors gradually left the Rose Manor, leaving only Chloe and Grace.

The surroundings grew dim, but Chloe’s face, free of makeup, remained as fair and radiant as a bright moon, eliciting both envy and jealousy from Grace.

Setting aside all grievances, Grace had to admit that Miss Thorp from the Thorp family was outstanding, an unparalleled beauty.

A woman this beautiful, living under the same roof as her man for three years, regardless of the substance behind the fare, how could she not feel anxious, fearful, and resentful?

So Grace gritted her teeth and walked up to Chloe, running her fingers through her long black hair. She displayed a triumphant smile rather than the fragile appearance she had shown in front of Joseph.

“So you’ve found a new target so quickly? You’re quite impressive. But wouldn’t it have been better to do this earlier? No matter how you entangled Joseph, he wouldn’t have given you a second glance.”

Chloe glanced at her as if she were a lunatic. “Why would I want him to look at me? I’m not a peacock in a park, and I don’t need to flaunt my feathers.”

Grace was momentarily silenced, but she felt deeply offended and provoked, so she decided to use her trump card.

“Since we’ve met. I might as well tell you some good news. Joseph and I are going to get engaged soon. We’ve chosen the day, of my birthday party for the engagement.”

“Is that so? Well, congratulations. But I don’t have a red envelope for you.” Chloe responded nonchalantly, her tone utterly dismissive.

Seeing Chloe’s indifference, Grace couldn’t help but feel her anger rise. She thought. “Even if you act tough, you must be seething with anger inside. But what’s the use?”

“In the end, I’m the one who will be with Joseph, and you’ll be the joke of the entire Medo city!”

“Ah, Grace, every time you see me, it’s either you’re shouting about wanting to get Joseph or bragging about how your relationship with him is unbreakable.”

“Is your life really so dull and uninteresting? Besides a man who’s been divorced once, do you have nothing else to be proud of?” Chloe sighed lazily, feeling like talking to her was lowering herself to another level.

But this self-important bad woman had to be put in her place, or else Chloe would feel uneasy.

“What did you say?!” Grace glared at her, her anger making her tongue-tied.

“You want to show off your change in social class and marrying into a wealthy family, and I can understand that. But you. should find a suitable audience for your bragging. You treasure the one thing I find repulsive. I find you boring.”
