Although the topic was no longer ntioned on the surface, the turmoil within her never ceased.
Sumr Monroe, a woman with a second marriage, actually coveting Jas Grant, such a catch?
How lodramatic!
...
Backstage at the banquet hall.
Sumr pushed open a VIP lounge door with a grim expression.
"Is it you?" At this ti, Harrison Grant was sitting on the lounge sofa with his eyes closed, resting.
He suddenly heard a noise at the door, opened his eyes, and saw Sumr’s face looking like she was about to eat soone, feeling a bit displeased, "What’s wrong now?"
Didn’t even know to knock first when coming in.
Lacked basic manners, still dreaming, day in and out, of having ties with the Grant Family, fool’s talk.
"What’s wrong, you ask? Evelyn Clayton is flaunting around in front of again. I really don’t know why she’s like a lingering ghost every single day!"
Thinking of Evelyn Clayton’s recent sarcasm towards her, Sumr gritted her back teeth with a creak, "Harrison Grant, why was Jas and Lynn’s engagent decided in such a rush?"
She planned to compete a little longer, but the Grant Family turned around and finalized it.
Didn’t even leave her a chance!
The marriages among powerful families aren’t child’s play, not sothing decided on a whim.
On the surface, Jas Grant and Lynn Yates’s engagent seed sudden, but in reality, it had been planned for a while.
And all of this couldn’t have happened without Harrison Grant’s arrangent.
"Jas isn’t young anymore, should we keep delaying?" Harrison Grant’s face darkened, "Our family’s marriage affairs, we arrange whenever we want, you couldn’t win over Jas, so stop venting your anger here at !"
He understood Sumr’s little thoughts.
"You have already been married once. Even though your husband passed away, you are still part of the Ford Family. The Ford Group is your background, your support, but also your shackles. If you stubbornly want to marry Jas Grant, the Ford Group will surely withdraw all your power. You should think it over carefully."
As his words fell, Sumr’s fists clenched tightly.
Withdraw all power?
She had thought about it, but...
She was indeed reluctant to give up her current status and power, yet she couldn’t just watch Jas marry soone else.
Sumr hesitated.
...
In the venue, Amber Whitman, dressed in a white dress, was joking with friends. Seeing Evelyn Clayton and Iris Lockwood, a chill flashed across her pretty face.
Seeing Evelyn being protected by Jas Grant for so long, she had long harbored extre resentnt.
Now that Jas was engaged to soone else, Amber Whitman was quite pleased, feeling vindicated.
"Miss Clayton, haven’t you already been abandoned by Jas? You actually have the courage to attend his engagent banquet, are you deluding yourself into thinking that Jas might still miss the old tis and give you a chance?"
Before attending the engagent banquet, Evelyn Clayton had already anticipated the ridicule from people.
She thought she was strong enough to face everything.
But under the barrage of sarcastic remarks, her heart still felt a faint pain.
Yet in front of outsiders, Evelyn Clayton would not, and could not, show any weakness.
"Miss Whitman, if you have your own thoughts, there’s no need to express them through soone else’s mouth. Jas Grant is indeed excellent, but it doesn’t an everyone must live or die for him."
Evelyn Clayton smiled calmly, with a clear subtext—
The one who wants Jas to miss the old tis is clearly Amber Whitman.
Anyone familiar with the past of the Whitman and Grant families could see that Amber Whitman, as Jas Grant’s cousin, harbored inappropriate desires.
A person who disregards moral ethics when being excessively romantic, what right do they have to speak about others?
At least when she was with Jas Grant, she was forthright and had a clear conscience.
