The Phantom Heiress Rising From The Shadows

Chapter 1032:

Tears spilled down Gracie’s cheeks, filling the elevator with a heavy atmosphere. The employees who had overheard the exchange couldn’t help but sigh, their hearts aching for Gracie’s misfortune.

Brenna observed Gracie calmly, thinking how shrewd she was. Most would bury such matters deep inside, but Gracie openly shared it with everyone, seemingly seeking their sympathy.

Gracie’s ability to turn herself into the victim genuinely surprised Brenna. For someone who had once enjoyed the life of a pampered heiress, Gracie certainly knew how to pull at people’s heartstrings and gain sympathy. One by one, her coworkers began to see Gracie in a new, more sympathetic light. Now, if Brenna said anything remotely harsh to Gracie, it would instantly make her look like the villain.

It was obvious now that Gracie was much more cunning than she let on.

With the entire crowd siding with Gracie, Brenna realized she had to tread carefully. Instead of confronting Gracie directly, she decided to play it cool and asked, “So, what exactly did your dad do to make your ex-husband retaliate like that?”

Brenna’s question shifted the mood. Curiosity replaced the earlier sympathy, and suddenly everyone was waiting for Gracie’s answer.
