Goodbye, My Love
Chapter 1039

Kassidy's actions towards Loraine at tonight's banquet were enough to fill him with remorse. If she had sought out Loraine privately to harass her... Darkness shadowed Grady's eyes. He would not let her get away with it!

Pocketing his phone, Grady flagged down a servant, his voice clipped as he demanded, "Where is Kassidy right now?"

The servant, taken aback by Grady's rare display of anger, responded hurriedly, "Miss Rivera is in her room."

Without uttering another word, Grady made his way to Kassidy's room.

At that moment, Kassidy, in high spirits, was humming a tune as she removed her makeup. She peeked at her phone occasionally, anticipating good news.

A knock on her door drew an annoyed sigh from her. "Who is it?" she called out.

Upon hearing Grady's voice, her annoyance morphed into surprise and delight. Hastily adjusting her attire, she swung the door open, tugging at the hem of her dress as she coyly asked, "Grady, why are you here? Have you missed me?"

Standing at the threshold with a stern expression, Grady interrupted her before she could finish, his voice frosty. "Kassidy, I'm here to tell you to leave Loraine alone."

Kassidy's initial shock gave way to a darkening expression.

"Grady, what are you suggesting? You're blaming me because of a mere outsider?"

His brow furrowed as he retorted, "I'm merely offering you advice. One that you'd do well to heed, considering you can't afford to cross

Loraine."

Kassidy's face wore a smug smile as she responded, "What's so special about her? I'm aware she's the daughter of the Torres family." She scoffed before continuing, "Grady, you have no idea how arrogant and insolent Loraine can be! She even disrespected your mother. She's nothing but an uncouth woman!"

At the banquet, Kassidy had heard that Loraine's parents had also attended a Cruz family exhibition, but had tragically met an untimely end.

This revelation only emboldened Kassidy; without the backing of her parents, no matter how formidable Loraine was, it would be a challenging battle to fight alone!

Enraged by Kassidy's remarks, Grady roared, "Enough! Who are you to pass judgment on Loraine?"

His normally mild demeanor was replaced by an explosive temper.

Kassidy, taken aback, felt a mix of fear and resentment.

"Grady, you're blinded by Loraine's facade! She's nothing but a deceitful woman who considers herself superior! She even belittles the

Cruz family. She doesn't even love you!"

A muscle twitched in Grady's face, the Last sentence striking a painful chord.
