Some people refuted, “The Mellis family has long publicly severed ties with her. How can she be called Miss Mellis?”

“But wasn’t she sentenced to prison? How did she end up here?”

“Why does she look so ugly now? Her skin is so wrinkled; she looks ten years

older…

Nancy felt the gaze of the crowd, trembling helplessly. She looked around, trying to find that familiar figure among them.

“Ed! I want Ed! My Edgar…”

Outside the crowd, Jade’s eyes flickered with curiosity as she glanced in that direction.

“Cousin, it’s lively over there. Let’s go take a look.”

Without waiting for Edgar’s response, she walked over, pushed through the crowd, and kindly saved a spot for Edgar.

“Ah, Cousin, isn’t that Miss Mellis?”

Upon hearing this name, Edgar furrowed his brow, emanating a chilling aura. He narrowed his dark eyes and walked over with an aura of mystery.

When Nancy saw him, her emotions instantly became overwhelmed. “Wuwuwu, Edgar! I finally see you. You have no idea how difficult these days have been for me. I’ve endured so much pain every day just to see you…”

Her voice was h oar se, and she cried with deep sorrow. However, her face, covered in bruises, and bloodshot eyes made her look pitiful yet terrifying.

As she sobbed, she moved closer to Edgar’s feet, reaching out her hand, wanting to grab onto his trousers. Edgar’s expression changed slightly, and almost instinctively, he took a big step backward.

Tom, who was tasting red wine in the main banquet hall, vaguely heard the commotion from the back hall and pulled Grace along to join the spectacle. Upon arrival, they witnessed the scene of Nancy persistently crawling towards Edgar’s feet.

Edgar’s face looked very unpleasant, as if he were avoiding a plague, and he continued to retreat.

However, his back bumped into Grace, who was walking towards him.

Grace quickly reached out and supported his lower back, her lips curling into a cold smile. “Acting for compensation?”

Edgar didn’t feel embarrassed either; his face turned slightly pale. He bent down and rubbed his leg.

“Grace, my knee hurts… I want to go back to the villa.”

His forehead furrowed tightly, and when he turned to look at her, he quickly suppressed the aggressiveness in his eyes and replaced it with a pitiful expression of being wronged.

Grace couldn’t be bothered to expose him and casually glanced at Nancy, who was stunned by his words on the ground.

She smirked.

“Well, that won’t do. This is your private matter; deal with it yourself.”

After saying that, she used force to push him towards Nancy, who was still reaching out to him. Then she stood there, enjoying the spectacle with indifference in her eyes. After searching for this person

for so long, she unexpectedly appeared at the charity event in the garden hotel.

If someone was willing to act, she was also willing to watch.

On the ground. Nancy reached out pitifully towards Edgar, saying, “Ed…”

Edgar stabilized himself in time and looked down at her. His dark eyes were filled with indifference. and coldness as he reprimanded in a low voice, “Stay there; don’t come near.”

Nancy was pierced by his indifferent gaze and began to cry uncontrollably.

“Edgar, don’t you recognize me? I’m Nancy, your fiancee! Do you know how much suffering 1 endured for you, being framed and imprisoned by that bitch, Grace!”

Edgar’s eyes grew even colder. “When I left Frant City, my mother made the decision to cancel this marriage. The current you has no connection to me.”

If it weren’t for the public eye, he would have peeled off the skin and torn apart this fraud right then and there!

She had taken advantage of Grace’s life-saving favor and, on multiple occasions, tried to harm her.

Now, she didn’t know who had suddenly brought her out with the purpose of intensifying the animosity between him and Grace.

Despicable!

Beside them, Tom made a clicking sound and whispered in Grace’s ear, adding fuel to the fire.

“Sister, listen, this is a sc umbag! When he loves, he loves passionately, but when he doesn’t, he is heartless. Fortunately, you divorced him in time!”

Grace pursed her lips and remained silent.

Her once-clear, starry eyes now stared deeply and silently at Edgar, not far away.

“Edgar! How can you treat me like this? I love you so much…”

Nancy, who had initially harbored hope of being released, now reached the peak of despair and resentment upon seeing his cold and heartless expression.

Edgar’s expression remained unchanged.

In front of the onlooking crowd’s whispers and gossip, he spoke loudly, “Nancy, let me tell you one last time, the one I love, the one I like, has always been Grace. It was before, it is now, and it will be in the future. Since you were sentenced, you should stay in prison and reflect on your past sins!”

While speaking, he took out his phone to contact Eric. Little did he know that his words would completely ignite Nancy’s emotions. She covered her head and screamed manically, her voice sharp.

and piercing, filled with anguish and terror.

“I only love you; what crime have I committed? It’s all because of this bit ch; she stole you from me! If it weren’t for her, we would have been together long ago, and none of this would have happened! She sent me to prison; I won’t let her go, I’ll kill her!”

Her crimson eyes stared at Grace, suddenly overflowing with intense murderous intent. She quickly pulled out a knife that she had prepared in advance from her sleeve and charged towards Grace,

“Til kill you! Bi tch! Die!”

Grace watched the deranged woman get closer, her expression unchanged, her eyes calm and undisturbed.

Tom and Edgar immediately stepped in front of Grace, followed by Eleven, Twelve, Fifteen, and

Seventeen, who rushed into the banquet hall.

Nancy couldn’t even touch a corner of Grace’s clothes before being restrained by several bodyguards.

She could only thrash around, shouting from a distance, “Bit ch, just you wait! Even if I become a ghost, I won’t let you off! Do you think I’m the only one who hates you? There are so many people in this world who want to get rid of you! Even if I can’t kill you myself, someone else will! I’ll be waiting for that day!”

Her words made Grace’s eyes narrow with a sharp gaze. Based on her words, Nancy seemed to know something.

Eleven turned to look at Grace. “Miss, how should we handle this?”

“Disperse the crowd and let the banquet continue. Take Nancy away!” Grace ordered.

As soon as she heard that she was going to be taken away, Nancy struggled desperately. “Ah! You bit ch! You’re the one who caused my current situation! You want to take me back and continue torturing me? I won’t go! I’d rather die than go!”

Seeing that Grace’s bodyguards were tall and strong and not easy to deal with, Jade quickly spoke up.

“Grace, she is a fugitive. Regardless, she should be handed over to the authorities. You can’t take her away, let alone take matters into your own hands!”

Others began to chime in, saying, “That’s right! We’re in a society ruled by law now. Your people aren’t law enforcement officers, so why should you take her away?”

“Yeah, she can’t be taken away. Someone should quickly notify the authorities and let them handle it!”

The crowd became chaotic, not only showing no intention of leaving but also gathering more closely together.

Grace scanned the crowd and finally fixed her gaze on the arrogant Jade.

this scene today, did they deliberately find someone to manipulate public opinion in

Heh, quite interesting.
