Chapter 367 Louise slowly followed his gaze and her face stiffened.
Brian raised his glass and drained it in one gulp, indifferently saying, âI donât feel like dancing.â
Louise clenched her fists tightly. âGrace! Itâs always Grace! Why does she always haunt us?â she wondered.
Just then, a woman in a tight long dress approached, her seductive red lips curled into a somewhat arrogant smile.
Louise frowned slightly, sizing her up, guessing that she was probably the daughter of one of the companies that cooperated with the Francis Group.
The woman arched her eyebrows at her. âDonât you recognize me? Thatâs right. Although you are the daughter of the Adkins family, you havenât had the chance to attend the socialite gatherings in Capern City since you were just recognized.â
Louise felt a chill in her heart, but her face remained composed, still wearing a gentle and genero âIâm sorry, I really donât know you. Do you know me?â she asked.
The woman lifted her chin proudly. âIâm a classmate of Brianâs, Emily Taylor.â
Louise certainly knew the Taylor family, which was also a distinguished family in Capern City, with an empire even larger than the Adkins Group. That was why Emily was so arrogant.
Emily truly looked down on Louise, thinking she wasnât good enough.
Emily also had a liking for Brian. Her mother had hinted to Jasmine several times before finding out that Brian had been waiting for a woman who had saved his life when they were children.
Now, Emily saw the woman in person. Louise was somewhat pretty, but such beauties were a dime a dozen in Capern City.
Emily really didnât think much of Louise.
âMiss Taylor, nice to meet you,â Louise said, extending her hand.
Emilyâs gaze was somewhat disdainful. She hesitated for a moment, extended her hand to casually touch Louiseâs, and then quickly pulled it back.
Louise sneered inwardly.
âWhich school did you graduate from?â Emily asked abruptly.
Louise was taken aback, and her face paled slightly. âAh... Ms. Taylor, I attended a regular university, one that you might not have heard of.â
Emily let out a disdainful, haughty smirk. âI thought the woman Brian was interested in would be more special in terms of looks, education, figure...â
Emily scrutinized Louise from head to toe as she spoke, then shook her head. âWhat exactly does Brian like about you?
âIs it just because you saved him when you were a child, and thatâs why he canât forget you?â
Louise didnât get angry. A womanâs intuition told her that Emily was interested in Brian. Knowing about Brianâs past rescue was a clear indication that she had inquired about his emotional history.
Deliberately, Louise put on a pitiful and selfâdeprecating expression. âMiss Taylor, are you not aware of Grace?â

6& 3, 71%=
ས +5 âTo be honest, the reason Brian is marrying me is indeed out of a sense of duty. There has always been a woman he canât forget, and that woman is Grace. They were actually married for three years.â
Emily looked at her in shock. âWhat are you talking about? Three years of marriage?â
Louise was also a bit surprised that Emily was unaware.
It seemed that the secret marriage between Brian and Grace had been wellâprotected.
Falling For My Contractual Wife (Brian and Grace)
ï¤Contractual Wife 366 Whispers of Destiny: His Belated Love ï¤Chapter 153 Since Emily didnât know, it was even better. Louise could embellish the story as much as she wanted.
It would be ideal if she could use Emily to deal with Grace. That would be perfect!
âGrace is quite the schemer, which is why Brian has always been infatuated with her. Miss Taylor, I understand that you think Iâm not a good match for Brian, but... you really shouldnât dislike me.
