Contrarily, Kassidy, oblivious to the authenticity of her own family heirloom, how could she dare to cast
aspersions on Loraine?
Simultaneously, whispers suggested that Loraine’s interest in buying the watch had an ulterior motive.
“Could the art world’s next big thing be Endy Hewitt?”
“Seems plausible. Mr. T, Loraine’s uncle, is the trendsetter of the art world. Endy’s pieces will skyrocket soon!”
Following the discussion, there was a rush of people eager to purchase
Endy’s artwork. ALL his design pieces showcased at the exhibition were quickly sold out, and the prices surged
tically.

The Cruz family, possessing numerous Endy’s pieces, capitalized on this sudden demand and sold their collection
for a handsprofit.
Florence was elated, viewing Loraine’s pocket watch purchase as a mere trifling matter.
Grady, pondering this, figured Loraine genuinely cherished these artworks and offered, “If you appreciate Endy’s
work, | can source more for you...”
He was cut off by an indignant Kassidy, “Grady, | want stoo!”
Grady, with a creased brow, bluntly retorted, “If you want them, find them yourself. What's the point of involving
me?”

Consumed by jealousy, Kassidy blurted out without thinking, “You have no connection with Loraine. Why would
you do something for her and not for me? Wake up! It'swho's your family, not her!”
Grady paled at her words. He glanced at Loraine awkwardly and defended,
“Loraine, please don’t misunderstand. She’s not part of my family. | don’t have a relationship with her.”
Yet Loraine remained unmoved, indifferent. She coolly responded,
“There's no need for explanations, Grady. This issue is between you and

Kassidy, not me.”
Grady'’s heart filled with pain, and his eyes grew increasingly somber.
Upon witnessing this, Kassidy’s jealousy heightened. As she watched
Florence approach, an idea flashed through her mind. Raising her voice, she declared, “Aunt Florence
commendedhighly. She wants my family and the Cruz family to have a stronger bond. | am to marry Grady
and becpart of the Cruz family!”
With a triumphant glance at Loraine, Kassidy awaited a reaction. But
Loraine remained unbothered, not exhibiting the anger Kassidy anticipated. Instead, it was Florence who
reacted, her face storming over upon hearing Kassidy’s proclamation. She marched up and admonished
Kassidy sternly.
