In the Lap of Luxury novel (Grace and Benjamin) novel Chapter 429

Jessica elaborated on her situation, adding exaggerations to her story. Almost every word that came out of her mouth was aimed at defending herself.

As Susan listened, her face contorted with anger. "That Grace is really not a good person. She's so malicious. She treated Cece and me that way before."

Jessica lowered her gaze, feigning sadness as she sighed. "Sadly, I'm insignificant, and she's the Lewis family's daughter. I can't do anything to her. I can only endure."

Susan knew that feeling all too well.

In the past, she had also suffered at the hands of Grace. Even now, there was no news from Celia in Astana. They were separated by a great distance.

Patting Jessica's hand, Susan pretended to console her. "You're not at fault, my dear. It's just that Grace is too cunning.

"Don't worry. The mills of justice grind slowly but surely. We just need to wait and see how miserable her end will be."

Jessica nodded, humming in agreement. She then linked arms with Susan, appearing quite affectionate. In outsiders' eyes, they might have been mistaken for a close mother-daughter duo.

Just then, there was a commotion at the entrance. The crowd fell silent instantly. "Look who's here."

All eyes gathered at the entrance, where Grace, wearing an orange evening gown, walked arm in arm with Xander.

This stunning pair naturally drew admiration. Some attendees recognized them and couldn't help but marvel.

"Ms. Lewis is truly stunning, and her temperament is exceptional."

"Right. Women find value in living for themselves. I can't imagine her life when she married into the Hawkins family. Now that she's divorced, she's become even more attractive."
