Elizabeth frowned slightly. It was a sign of her disapproval at Grace's lack of self-control in front of everyone.
still, she didn’t actually say anything.
After all, Aubree was also on the receiving end of Grace's troublemaking.
Grace sneered, “A bug crawling out from sgodforsaken corner really thinks she’s something special. You
really believe buying a painting can dress up that rotten aura of yours?
“What are you even thinking?
“Hugo’s family has always been spotless. You, on the other hand, are filthy to the core. Can't you have a little
self-awareness? Stop latching onto Hugo, will you?”
Grace suddenly turned her gaze to Aubree, her face full of mockery. “And you!
“Seriously, you two are so alike. So young and already crawling into Bowen's bed. How shameless can you get?
Didn't your parents ever teach you how to behave?
“Oh, | forgot that the famous Ms. Miller is an orphan, so of course, she doesn’t have parents...”
‘I can put up with her talking trash about me, but insulting Ms. Miller? That's crossing the line, Birgitte thought.
Birgitte raised her hand and slapped Grace across the face.
The sharp sound echoed through the room, and suddenly, everything went quiet.
Grace was absolutely floored that Birgitte would slap her. Elizabeth was just as caught off guard. She hadn't seen

actually throw hands.
Snapping back to her senses, Grace shrieked, “Birgitte!”
She shouted as she raised her hand, ready to slap back.
But Aubree was faster. She grabbed Grace's wrist and flung it aside. Aubree let out a small smile. She had to
admit, one thing Grace said did hit home. She really was an orphan.
Aubree said coolly, “For someone with both parents, Ms. Lawson, you sure have less class than an orphan like
a,
Birgitte said, her tone cool and authoritative, “Grace, back in Sidlichen Strand, | didn’t bother with you not
because | was afraid, but because | didn’t want to waste my ton someone so pointless.
“But if you keep spouting nonsense, trust me, that slap will be just the beginning.” She was a CEO now, and it
showed in every word.
Grace stumbled back two steps, realizing with embarrassment and anger that she’d actually been scared off by
Birgitte. Her face flushed with shame.
“First you try to stir up , then you throw yourself at someone else’s man, and now you hit me. Birgitte,
since when did you get so bold? Acting like a homewrecker and still playing tough?” Grace snapped.
Birgitte looked at her, genuinely confused. “Are you and Hugo even in a relationship?
“Not to mention you and Hugo aren't even together, but even if you were, nothing has ever happened between
us beyond friendship.”
“Lies! You're showing up with gifts and still have the nerve to say there's nothing between you two?” Grace bit
her lip, her voice shaking with anger.
She and Hugo were childhood sweethearts, and their families had always planned for them to end up together.
Ever since she was little, Grace had seen herself as Hugo's fiancée.
However, she didn’t expect Birgitte to cout of nowhere and mess everything up.
Just thinking about how Hugo told her he only ever saw her as a little sister, and that he already liked someone
else, made Grace's eyes grow even colder.

Grace fumed inwardly, ‘What does that slut Birgitte have that | don’t? Just because she slept with ssugar
daddy?
‘She’s nothing but Aubree’s sidekick. Aubree’s a bitch, too. She is barely out of school and already knows how to
hook men!”
After all, Bowen was her brother-in-law.
From the conversation just now, Aubree picked up on a few things.
Hugo had probably helped Birgitte out before, so the two had sconnection. Grace clearly liked Hugo, but it
looked like he wasn't interested in her, and actually had a better impression of Birgitte.
Since this was Birgitte’s personal matter, Aubree thought that she should stay out of it.
“You're nuts,” Birgitte scoffed, not wasting another second on Grace's .
