“Oh my God, Katherine.” Megan’s mouth fell open in shock. “No wonder they bullied you. You’re just not ruthless enough, you know that? Even now you think you’re the one going too far. They’re the ones who went too far, okay? Listen to me. The score from five years ago has to be settled tonight.”

Megan dragged Katherine toward the bedroom. Katherine resisted, but Megan was not

wrong.

Rachel wanted to see her make a fool of herself. If she showed up like this, she would be handing Rachel exactly what she wanted.

Meanwhile, in the banquet hall, it was already seven-thirty.

The doors to the main hall opened, and Lucas strode in, dressed in a sharp, tailored suit. He stood tall and commanding.

Everyone instinctively turned to look at him.

Some people even cheered in excitement.

“It’s Mr. Grant, it’s Mr. Grant. Mr. Grant is here.

“Mr. Grant is so handsome. I wish I could marry him. If I could marry Mr. Grant, I’d do anything.”

“Stop dreaming. Mr. Grant only has Ms. Hart in his heart. He doesn’t even look at other women.”

“I’m so jealous of Ms. Hart. Mr. Grant celebrates her birthday every year without fail. That’s favoritism just for her.”

When Rachel saw Lucas arrive, the smile on her beautiful face grew even softer. She lightly lifted her skirt and walked toward him.

“Lucas.”

She naturally slipped her arm through his. “Why are you so late? I’ve been waiting forever.”

Lucas’s voice was low and smooth. “Work ran late.”

Rachel blinked, her tone full of concern. “You’re so busy with work, and you still prepared all this for me. I’m really touched.”

She did not speak loudly, but it was just loud enough for the people around them to hear.

Someone immediately said with envy, “Mr. Grant and Ms. Hart are so sweet together. Are you trying to give us cavities?”

“Oh, stop it. Don’t say that.” Rachel pretended to protest shyly.

“What do you mean stop? It’s true. You two are a perfect match. We’re all so jealous.”

Rachel smiled bashfully and secretly glanced at Lucas’s expression.

Many people already treated them as a couple. Lucas never cared about those assumptions and rarely bothered to explain.

Rachel was more than happy to let people think that way.

At that moment, someone suddenly gasped. “Who is that? She’s so beautiful… Wait …

that Mrs. Grant?”

As soon as the words were spoken, everyone turned toward the entrance.

A woman in a black mermaid gown walked into the hall.

The strapless design was simple and elegant. The dress itself was not flashy, but on her, it made her look radiant and stunning.

Katherine rarely wore dark colors, but the black made her fair skin stand out even more.

The fitted design highlighted her flawless figure perfectly.

Before coming, Megan had insisted that Katherine put on light makeup, enhancing her delicate features and making them even more striking.

Combined with her naturally cool and distant aura, she was breathtaking at first glance and just as breathtaking at the second.

If Rachel looked like a princess tonight, then Katherine looked like a queen.

She did not even spare the people in front of her a glance. She simply walked straight ahead.

To everyone else, she seemed exceptionally aloof.

In reality, Katherine was anxious to find the three kids.

“Katherine!” The moment Rachel saw her, her face darkened. She muttered under her breath.

It was actually Katherine. Since when had she become this beautiful?

Katherine had always been pretty, but she nevestiressed up. Compared to Rachel, who always styled herself carefully, Rachel had usually outshone her visually.

But now, everyone’s eyes were on Katherine.

Even

When Rachel turned her head, she saw that Lucas’s gaze had also fallen on Katherine. In those usually calm eyes, there was a rare hint of admiration.

Rachel’s heart sank hard.

She had invited Katherine to embarrass her.

Not to let that woman steal her spotlight.

Damn, Katherine.

“Lucas… Lucas… Rachel called his name twice before he finally looked away from Katherine and turned to her.

Rachel felt even worse.

Lucas asked. “Why is she here?
