“Madam Grace is really blessed. With your younger daughter securing this project, it looks like we’ll all be counting on you in the future.” “Oh, not at all,” Grace replied politely.

All evening, similar compliments had been endless.

But no one mentioned the situation between Aurora and Joseph in front of her.

No one wanted to be that foolish.

After all, things between them had already soured publicly at the banquet.

Between Hunt Enterprises and the Walton Corporation, everyone knew which held more weight.

“Alright then, Miss, I’ll head off now.”

Tessa gave a soft “Mm” and let him go.

After saying a quick word to Julian, she took her wine glass and headed straight toward Aurora.

Julian watched Tessa’s back as she walked away, lost in thought.

He’d noticed her whispering to the server just moments ago.

Watching her now approach Aurora only confirmed what he was thinking.
