Madeleine clenched her teeth and said, "Miss King, we all know you’re full of shit, and you don’t have to prove it to us again and again."

Gracie ignored Madeleine and held her chin up high, taking the high road.

"Ophelia, I heard that you gave birth to a boy. Now you have a husband and a son, and you’ve got all the things a woman is supposed to have, but why must you have teased Tassach when he was determined to forget you?" Arms-crossed, Gracie questioned Ophelia.

Ophelia stared at her.

Madeleine, nevertheless, couldn’t stand it anymore and chimed in, "Miss King, I’m afraid it’s not up to you to decide who Mr. Conduibh should be with. Ophelia had a car accident, and it’s reasonable that he paid her a visit. Do you want to put the 'Mrs. Conduibh’ hat on and control him while you haven’t even married him yet?"

Gracie squinted at Madeleine with a defiant air and replied, "So what if I do? Tassach will be mine someday. Both his family and mine have tacitly approved of our relationship, and we’ll get married sooner or later. I’m just exercising my right in advance."

Madeleine was lost for words because she found Gracie delusional.

What Gracie said also left Ophelia dumbfounded. Truly, Gracie was staking out her claim, but that also showed how unconfident she was.

A confident woman never revolved around a man. A smart woman would make her man obsessed with her while keeping him at an arm’s length. In that case, all he could think of was still her, even though they were a million miles apart from each other.

Gracie rose to her feet and looked down at Ophelia in a condescending way, saying, "Since you aren’t dead, I have no reason to stay. I’m leaving now."
