Everyone present was astute. A moment of thought later, they all laughed in agreement, chiming in with
Florence.
“Indeed, we’ll certainly Look out for Loraine and Grady.”
Loraine furrowed her brow. She had a gut feeling that Florence’s words carried a hidden meaning,
something beyond their surface interpretation.
However, Florence had been tactfully ambiguous. It wasn’t a situation where Loraine could express
irritation.
With grace, Loraine distanced herself from the group. Spotting Grady descending the stairs, she swiftly
walked to him.
Grady was dressed in an immaculate white suit. His hair was styled with precision. Seeing Loraine
approach, his face lit up with joy.
“Loraine, you look stunning tonight. I hope my attire complements yours.”
He gazed at Loraine, his eyes filled with hope that she’d notice his effort.
However, Loraine didn’t give him a second glance. She queried, “Grady, your mother was introducing
me to various individuals. What does that mean?”

A trace of melancholy flashed across his eyes. Grady clarified, “My mother was probably trying to
familiarize you with everyone. She genuinely wants to make amends this time.”
On the other side, Florence, seeing the two engaged in conversation, smiled contentedly. She didn’t
interrupt them and even held back the other ladies, ensuring the two had their space.

Grady’s attention was solely on Loraine. As he pondered how to strike a conversation smoothly, a
sweet voice abruptly broke in from behind.
“Are you Loraine Torres? Why are you being so impudent? Did you come to the party with the intention
of stealing someone’s partner?”

The moment the voice echoed, a hush fell over everyone present.
Grady, taken aback, paused before exclaiming, “Kassidy, what on earth are you talking about?”
Loraine’s gaze landed at the person who spoke.
The female was around Grady’s age, though the heavy makeup she wore veiled her youthful
complexion.
She was adorned in an outfit identical in brand and hue to Grady’s.
Could it be a couple’s outfit?
Loraine’s mind filled with bewilderment as Kassidy approached Grady, intertwining their arms
affectionately. With an entitled air, Kassidy uttered, “Grady, why didn’t you wait for me?”
Grady, who had been sheltered by his mother since childhood, found himself at a loss as he confronted
this unexpected display of intimacy.
He remained frozen, unable to respond.
