Goodbye, My Love
Chapter 1010

"Is Loraine to be the next addition to the Cruz family?"

"The Cruz family does enjoy support from their family in Zodiac. Grady and Loraine would make a good pair." "I wonder if the Cruz family in Zodiac would approve of Loraine..."

The attendees were abuzz with discussion. Some exhibited envy, while others showed skepticism and scorn.

Only the women close to Florence began to shower her with congratulations.

"Mrs. Cruz, we're delighted for you! You've finally found the ideal daughter-in-law!"

Florence greeted these praises with a smile, subtly concurring as if the matter was already decided.

Kassidy was seething, a bundle of nerves, yet powerless to change the situation.

Oblivious, Grady stared blankly at the scene unfolding before him, unable to believe what he had just heard from Florence.

With a mix of shock and anticipation, he glanced towards Loraine, cheeks tinted a light shade of pink, his response held at bay.

However, Loraine's brows furrowed.

Since when did she become the future daughter-in-law of the Cruz family?

A sardonic smile crept across Loraine's face as she watched Florence's reaction.

Her initial suspicions weren't unfounded; it was evident Florence harbored hidden intentions!

With everyone's eyes on her, Loraine courteously untwined her hand from

Florence's grasp, taking a step backwards.

With an icy tone, she declared, "Mrs. Cruz, your consideration of me as a standard for selecting a daughter-in-law is flattering. Upon finding one, do Let me know. I'll certainly bring a significant gift to the wedding. After all, Grady has always been Like a brother to me."

At Loraine's words, a stunned silence fell over those who had been commending Florence, and all eyes turned towards Florence with perplexity.

While Loraine had tactfully phrased her refusal, the message wasn't lost on anyone.

Loraine had publicly rejected Florence's implications!

Florence's hopes were merely her own wishful thinking! Loraine had not committed to Grady and had no desire to join the Cruz family through marriage.

Someone from the crowd chuckled, teasing Florence, "Mrs. Cruz, you've been snubbed. I was under the impression Loraine and Grady were getting engaged, based on what you stated. Seems like Loraine hasn't been notified yet."

A ripple of laughter ran through the crowd, darkening Florence's expression.
