She Became Rich After Divorce by Georgina Lane

"Hehe, quite audacious of you to eavesdrop on our conversation!" The woman walked up to Kate, stood in front of her, and extended a delicate fair hand to lift the girl's chin, forcing her to raise her face and meet her gaze.

Their eyes locked, and Kate's mind instinctively went blank. She felt as if she were floating in the clouds, unable to see what lay ahead. All she could perceive was the beauty of those eyes-so mesmerizing. "Young girl, tell me, what did you hear?" the woman asked.

"I heard everything. You plan to kill Cheyenne," Kate honestly replied.

The woman was satisfied with her response, and her gaze turned sharp and piercing. She gave a fierce glare to the man beside her.

"Did you hear that? She must not be spared!"

"No, you can't harm her!" Master Glenn, fearing that this woman might harm Kate, stepped forward, slapped away her hand, and tightly protected Kate in his embrace.

Gracie let out a cold laugh, leisurely adjusting the pleats on her dress. Her voice sounded seductive and gentle, but it carried a dangerous undertone.

"She'll be a nuisance!"

"No, I'll take care of her," Master Glenn insisted. He would not allow Gracie to harm Kate, not even if it meant using hypnosis to make her forget.
