Goodbye, My Love
Chapter 1012

She eagerly awaited Loraine's swift departure and fervently hoped she would never return!

She held the conviction that Loraine was the root cause of Florence's shift in attitude towards her. With Loraine's exit, she anticipated a restoration of normalcy.

Despite Loraine's disregard, Florence's irritation was palpable. Her expression hardened, yet the thought of losing a prospective daughter-in-law of Loraine's caliber held her back. Suppressing her indignation, she offered, "Loraine, allow me to walk you out."

Grady's unease heightened, fearing further complications. He interjected hurriedly, "Mother, I'll accompany Loraine."

But Florence rebuffed him with a frosty gaze, "I will handle it. Grady, you stay here and entertain the guests."

Grady was taken aback, as defiance was not his nature. Caught in a moment of uncertainty, Loraine offered him a comforting gaze.

Witnessing her reassuring expression, he responded with a nod.

Understanding that Florence desired a private word with her, Loraine decided to confront her in an effort to avoid any potential complications.

She walked away with a serene smile. As the pair retreated from view,

Grady was engulfed in concern, oblivious to Kassidy's departure.

After escorting Loraine out of the banquet room, Florence came to a halt at an isolated corner.

"My apologies, Loraine. I may have been too abrupt in my words. It's understandable if you need some time to process this." She looked at

Loraine with a sincerity in her eyes, continuing, "I am aware that you hold resentment against me, based on my past actions. I wasn't the kindest person towards you. Yet, I've pondered over it quite a bit. Actually, you and Grady would make a splendid pair, and both our families are on par in terms of power and status. Should you join our family, I can foresee you leading a content life with Grady." Caught off guard, Loraine found herself at a loss for words.

Florence suggested she become part of their family, and it made Loraine wonder where Florence got the audacity from.

How could Florence assume she'd be agreeable to become a part of the

Cruz family?

Regarding family background, Loraine would never even give a second thought to the Cruz family in Vagow. This branch was nothing compared to their counterparts in Zodiac. Did Florence view her own family, the Torres, as inferior, even though they held a significant place in

Vagow?

Florence, oblivious to Loraine's displeasure, grew more passionate as she continued her monologue. She even mentioned Kassidy.

"Kassidy is a distant relative whom I have met only a few times. Please don't misconstrue anything, Loraine. Grady is firmly by your side.
