Chapter 149 Her Heart Was Bleeding

“Ms. Lewis, I didn’t expect to see you here,” one of the wealthy ladies greeted Grace, her eyes sparkling.

“We’re here for a spa day with your mother–in–law. We were just talking about going to your store to pick out some clothes together!”

Grace recognized the lady in front of her. It was Lauren Bates.

“Mrs. Turner, you’re always welcome to visit my store. But Benjamin and I are divorced, so Mrs. Hawkins here is no longer my mother–in– law. Our relationship isn’t as good as she mentioned either.”

Lauren was quite perceptive. At Grace’s statement, she quickly apologized, “I’m sorry for my poor memory. I hope you don’t mind, Ms. Lewis.”

Although Grace was younger than her, she displayed a humble attitude and showed respect. with the way she spoke.

The other ladies hoped to gain Grace’s favor as well, so they talked more politely and even disregarded their relationship with Susan.

“We will try to avoid hanging out with her.‘

Grace nodded, and Emily took out a VIP card from her bag, handing it to Lauren. “From now on, all of you will be our store’s VIP customers. Feel free to

Excitedly, Lauren accepted the card. “Thank you, Ms. Lewis. We will be sure to visit your store.

”

As Susan watched the wealthy ladies leave, her face turned increasingly ugly. She used to be the center of attention among these ladies, but now she felt excluded.

This was all because of Grace.

Susan glared at Grace, but she dared not lash out.

“Mrs. Hawkins, think before you speak next time. I hope you won’t try to make connections with me anymore. After all, we’re not really close.”

At this moment, Susan’s heart was bleeding. She regretted treating Grace so poorly in the past.
