Chapter 7

Chapter 7 Grace was so furious that her chest ached.

She wanted to quickly gather all her important documents, but when she opened the last drawer, she froze.

Inside was a pile of certificates.

Among them were the Certified Public Accountant and Chartered Financial Analyst certificates, two of the most prestigious credentials in the finance industry.

Some of these certificates were known as the golden tickets to Varnell Street, yet they had been shoved into the most neglected corner.

Wasnt she supposed to be a useless woman who only knew how to chase after a man? She scanned them briefly.

Unwilling to stay in this house any longer, she quickly packed a few sets of clothes and prepared to leave.

Just then, Liam walked in.

Grace, are you running away from home again? Cut it out.

Im starving.

He strode over and yanked the suitcase out of her hands.

If you dont go apologize to Mom and Alice right now, no one will bother themselves with you anymore.

How long do you plan to be gone this time? Wasnt it just yesterday that you pulled this same stunt? You were gone for only a few hours before crawling back.

Youre embarrassing yourself, you know that? Youre ruining the harmony of this household.

As he spoke, he angrily tossed her suitcase to the side, scattering her neatly packed clothes onto the floor.

Do you know why everyone likes Alice more? Shes gentle, educated, and competent at work.

Shes miles ahead of you.

Seeing how Mom and Dad refuse to give you any shares, shouldnt you reflect on your own actions and attitude? While looking at her clothes on the floor, Graces patience ran out.

She raised her hand and slapped him across the face.

Liam clutched his cheek in shock.
