A few noble ladies were entertained by her words, and considering her identity as Miss Lucas, they constantly praised Lily Gray in front of Emily Taylor.

In the end, Emily Taylor couldn’t bear it and excused herself for a headache, asking Lily Gray to assist her to the lounge for a short rest.

Reputable banquets would provide lounges for guests to rest.

Lily Gray and another lady accompanied Emily Taylor to the upstairs lounge.

Emily Taylor half-leaning on the reclining chair, her headache seemed to worsen just by looking at Lily Gray.

At this moment, the melodious waltz music wafted in from outside the door. She calculated the time. If everything went as planned, Angelina Shaw should be dancing with Ethan Wilson by now.

Thinking of this, she said to Lily Gray, “You don’t have to stay here with me. 1 am going to chat with Mrs. Holbrook. Go enjoy the party.”

“Alright, I will head down first.” Lily Gray obediently stood up and before going out, she spoke to Mrs. Holbrook, “Mrs. Holbrook, if my mother remains unwell, could you please send someone to fetch me? I will stay near the staircase… thank you very much.”

After saying this, Lily Gray didn’t linger and promptly left.

Emily Taylor didn’t expect a thoughtful comment from Lily Gray before her departure. Seeing Lily’s receding figure, Emily Taylor felt an unusual stir in her heart.

This daughter-in-law… maybe wasn’t as unbearable as she thought.

After exiting the lounge, Lily Gray stood on the second floor’s hallway looking down to the dance floor.

On the dance floor, many couples had already started dancing to the music. She scanned the crowd but couldn’t spot Ethan Wilson nor, surprisingly, Angelina Shaw.

Could it be that Ethan hasn’t arrived yet?

She decided to wait downstairs. The staircase was situated just after the entrance. If Ethan arrived, perhaps she could see him before Angelina Shaw did.

Though she had been confident earlier that Angelina Shaw could try to hook up with Ethan, there was no way she would succeed. But now, she somehow felt her heartbeat getting erratic.

Perhaps the upbeat rhythm of the dance music threw her heart into disarray.

Lily Gray moved towards the staircase ready to go downstairs when suddenly she heard two women conversing from the lounge near the staircase.

The sound wasn’t very low but was drowned out by the waltz music outside.

Previously, Lily’s poor eyesight had enhanced her hearing.

She recognized the voices of the two women; it was Ethan’s aunt Emma Shaw and the woman eyeing Ethan, Angelina Shaw.

Lily Gray tread lightly and got closer to the lounge.

“Aunt, how could you ask me to do such a thing! Didn’t you see? When Brother Ethan saw me, he coldly ignored me and left… How am I going to drug him?”

Unexpectedly, she heard a piece of shocking news as she approached.

But, had Ethan arrived already, and she just didn’t notice?

“Grace, don’t worry… this shot is colorless and tasteless, and I spent a lot of money to get it. Later, discreetly pour this drug from the syringe into the wine glass, then take the glass to your Brother Ethan. Say you were insensitive before and want to apologize. Rest assured, Brother Ethan has known you since childhood, he likes having you around, he won’t really be angry with you.”

“But… Did you see? Brother Ethan is already married, and that woman… she looks so vulgar, how does she deserve Brother Ethan…”

Initially, Lily Gray thought Angelina Shaw wasn’t that bad, it was merely Emma that was detestable, always instigating people to do evil things.

However, upon hearing these words, her impression of Angelina Shaw dropped considerably.

Geez, she was a little more voluptuous than others. If not, her mother wouldn’t continuously dress her in mature clothes. Just because she was voluptuous didn’t make her vulgar, right?

So, everyone had to be like Angelina Shaw, showing a light, thin indifferent demeanor to be considered dignified?!
