Chapter 98

“1,1” Under everyone’s scrutiny, Grace felt immense pressure.

She stammered: “I was jealous that you were taking Asher’s attention away from me. I just wanted him to notice me… I’m truly sorry for what I did…”

Thalia pressed: “Is that really all there is to it?”

“Yes,”

Lady Catherine sighed deeply. “How could you be so thoughtless? Are you still a toddler throwing tantrums?”

Grace kept her head lowered, her voice breaking with tears. “Mother, I was wrong I promise it won’t happen again.”

Lord Blackwood spoke sternly: “Recognising your mistake is a start. Ensure this behaviour never repeats itself. You’ve already brought quite enough embarrassment to the Blackwood name.”

Thalia fixed Grace with a penetrating stare, knowing full well she wasn’t being truthful.

However, expecting Grace to admit her inappropriate feelings for Asher in front of his parents was clearly unrealistic.

Thalia didn’t pursue the matter further, responding with feigned nonchalance: “Right, so that’s what it was.”

Lord Blackwood turned to Randolph. “We must apologise for our family’s failure in properly raising Grace. I hope you can find it in yourself to move past this incident. As for those videos online…”

Randolph pretended ignorance. “What videos?”

Lord Blackwood explained: “Someone recorded last night’s incident and posted it online.”

“Oh,” Randolph took a sip of tea. “Let me have a look, shall I?”

He took out his phone, “Where would I find them?”

Thalia walked over and opened the social media app, locating the videos.

After watching them and scanning the outlandish headlines, Randolph nearly laughed aloud.

The comment section was universally condemning Grace.

Randolph smiled. “This seems entirely appropriate. When one makes a mistake, one should face the consequences. The public criticism is well–deserved.”
