“Go after Loraine! She’s a notorious socialite in Vagow! She'll give you what you want...”
It was evidently Kassidy’s voice.
In an instant, Kassidy’s face turned pale and she froze.
Once the recording concluded, Loraine said calmly, “Mrs. Cruz, does this mean that Miss Rivera represents the
Cruz family and is acting on your behalf? Kassidy spread damaging rumors about me. Does the Cruz family
condone such behavior?”
Caught off guard, Florence quickly distanced herself from Kassidy and said, “Wait! That's not what | was
implying!” She glared at Kassidy fiercely and demanded, “What's going on?”
Panic-stricken, Kassidy hastily defended herself, “I... | was scared at that time. | was just speaking without

However, Loraine sneered, “Speaking without thinking? Miss Rivera, you were quite specific in your accusations,
even planning to reveal my address. | don’t believe it was mere thoughtlessness on your part.”
Kassidy felt choked by Loraine’s words. She rolled her eyes and exclaimed, “You kidnappedand forcedto
say those things. You recorded it deliberately to blackmail me!”
Loraine sneered and retorted in a cold voice, “I'm not as malicious as you are! And | certainly don’t have as
much free tas you do!”
Refusing to engage further with Kassidy, Loraine abruptly ended the call.
Florence was bewildered and flustered. Grady shook off Kassidy’s grip, his face turning stern as he asked coldly,
“Kassidy, what happened?”

Kassidy swallowed nervously and attempted to defend herself. It was at this moment that Grady suddenly
recalled what Marco had mentioned earlier.
What had happened outside the Cruz family’s residence last night?
Grady'’s face hardened as he firmly ordered the servant, “Retrieve the surveillance footage from outside the gate
of last night.”
When she heard that, Kassidy’s heart sank. She knew she was in deep trouble.
Soon, the complete footage was brought. Kassidy had acted impulsively, forgetting to instruct the goons to avoid
the surveillance camera.

The recording clearly showed the moment when Brody and the others intercepted Loraine, intending to humiliate
her.
Florence, witnessing the scene, was also taken aback. Last night,
Kassidy had promised to help her vent her anger. Did that mean she had planned to arrange for someone to
assault Loraine?
If any harm befell Loraine within the Cruz family’s territory, the Cruz family would bear the blame.
Kassidy wasn’t helping her! Instead, she wanted to harm the Cruz family!
Shock and anger surged within Florence, her facial expression changing drastically.
At this point, Loraine must have realized that Kassidy was behind this, and if she investigated further, it would
implicate the Cruz family.
