Goodbye, My Love
Chapter 998

He had never encountered a girl as audacious as Kassidy.

Kassidy cocked her head high, boasting to the onlookers as she introduced herself.

"Hello, everyone. Grady and I have been friends since childhood. I'm

Kassidy Rivera, another guest at this exhibit and Grady's female companion!"

The insinuation in her words hinted that she was Grady's future wife.

ANGELA's LIBRARY

Whispers rippled through the crowd as they threw pointed glances at

Loraine.

It appeared that Kassidy and Grady had a history and were quite close, while Loraine was a more recent acquaintance of Grady's.

Kassidy reveled in the crowd's reaction.

Amidst the bustling conversations of the crowd, a spark ignited within

Grady, snapping him back to his senses. With newfound clarity, he shook off Kassidy's hands and turned to Loraine with an anxious expression, eager to offer an explanation. "Loraine, she's just a distant relative. We haven't met before. I swear, there's nothing between us!"

Loraine responded with a nod, an awkward grin playing on her face as she touched her nose, "Truthfully, you don't need to justify anything to me..."

She truly didn't mind.

Flustered, Kassidy spun around, tears brimming in her eyes as she turned to Florence.

"Auntie, did you see how Grady just treated me?"

Florence looked perturbed. She hadn't anticipated that Kassidy would cause such a scene in public. Yet, given that Kassidy was family,

Florence stepped in to mediate, all in the name of saving face.

"Alright, that's enough. Grady, it's Kassidy's first time at such an event. Please be lenient with her."

Ignoring Florence, Grady directed his apology to Loraine.

"Let me take you to the exhibit inside."

Feeling the weight of everyone's stare, Loraine was eager to escape the banquet hall and nodded in approval immediately.

"Grady, why can't I accompany you too?" Kassidy stood defiantly in front of Grady, unwilling to back down.
