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.”

Grace’s words were casual, but they hit Susan like a heavy blow.

Just a moment ago, she had been boasting in front of these wealthy ladies. Now that Grace had exposed the truth in such a brutal way, Susan’s face turned red with embarrassment.

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.

“Ms. Lewis, we just bumped into Mrs. Hawkins. We’re not that close.”

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

“She treated you so poorly before. This might be her karma.”

This left Susan speechless.

As she listened to the harsh comments from the wealthy ladies, her chest heaved, and her

expression turned unpleasant.

She had been kind to them in the past, but they had turned their backs on her just like that.

“Ms. Lewis, we need to go now. We’ll talk to you next time.”

just when the wealthy ladies wanted to leave, Grace stopped them. “Wait, ladies.”

The wealthy ladies exchanged glances and cautiously asked, “Is there something else, Ms.

Lewis?”

Grace glanced at Susan’s embarrassed expression and felt an unusual sense of satisfaction.

Raising an eyebrow, she said in a good mood, “Since you like our store’s clothes, you’re welcome to shop anytime. We’ll give you a discount.”

“Really?” The ladies‘ eyes lit up, as such an opportunity was as rare as winning the lottery.

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 come and shop anytime.”

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.

If Grace had still been married to Benjamin, the Hawkins family would be in–laws with the world’s richest family.

Yet Susan had ruined the perfect marriage.
