The Ex-husband Wants to Get Power Every Day After the Divorce

Chapter 499: Chapter 494: Arrogant_1
Seeing his eyes full of her, and also in front of her family, Molly Walker lowered her voice and said, “We’re in a crowded place. Let’s keep a low profile.”

Although she wouldn’t mind if the news about her and Michael Gallagher got out, Michael Gallagher was on a break and with so many people around, it was bound to invite trouble.

Michael seemed to have guessed her thoughts.

“When we get back to Sunnydale, we’ll have our wedding. Bailey Gallagher called me, saying that he wanted to meet us.”

Speaking of Bailey, Molly thought of Isabelle Richardson, but soon, Bailey’s small face covered that thought.

Children should not be implicated in adult issues.

As for the wedding, remembering the simple and secretive ceremony they had before, Molly gave a relieved smile.

That time, she and Michael both had missions. This time, however, their wedding might truly belong to them.

Grace Harrison looked on with envy at the two hand-in-hand.

If she could be with the one she loved, even if it meant enduring so much, she would willingly.

Just then, someone tapped her on the shoulder, “Grace.”

Alicia Taylor approached her awkwardly, “Vivian Wilson, your sister is here.”

Vivian Wilson?

Why is she here too?!

Grace blinked and looked in the direction Alicia pointed.

Vivian Wilson, dressed in a long black dress, walked towards her with an elegant and refined posture. Her appearance was exquisite.

“Grace Harrison, you’re here too?” Vivian Wilson looked her up and down, seeing Alicia and her wearing expensive accessories, she looked astonished, “You guys are wearing …”

Vivian quickly glanced over at Molly Walker and Michael Gallagher not far away and understood, “Did Molly bring you guys here? Otherwise, you guys wouldn’t be able to get in here with your status.”

Grace and Alicia: “…”

“I’m so envious that you guys have such a good relationship with Molly. I’ve heard that she is now the heir of the Stephen Crane. Don’t you think you’re being too low-key just for having these trinkets? If it were me, I would at least ask her to design something for me to wear.”

After Vivian finished, she looked over their outfits with jealousy in her eyes.

Ever since she learned that Grace had Damian Thompson’s private contact, she has had her guard up against this girl.

Although someone of Grace’s status definitely won’t be able to step foot in the Thompson family, she couldn’t be sure that Grace wasn’t planning to use some despicable tricks.

Some girls nowadays, with no real skills, dream of marrying into a wealthy family and becoming a Cinderella.

She’s put in so much effort, and has even managed to get a job as Damian Thompson’s assistant through her family’s connections. If someone were to steal her position in the end, wouldn’t her hard work be in vain?

Alicia was just about to argue back when Grace stopped her, “Vivian Wilson, we are not here because of Molly, and we have no intention of asking her for anything. I like and respect her, and I certainly do not intend to be a freeloader.”

“Your words are all well and good, but who would believe it?” Vivian sneered. She walked up to Alicia, reached out, and fiddled with the necklace around Alicia’s neck, “I remember that you’ve got several younger siblings at home, and you applied for financial aid for university, right? Everyone in the school knows you’re poor… What would your classmates think if I were to post this photo of you wearing such an expensive necklace? Wouldn’t they think you’re rich but lying to get financial aid?”

Alicia turned deathly pale with fear, feeling agitated.

If this ever got out and she was labeled a fraud, she might have problems graduating.

Alicia looked ready to burst into tears. She was about to remove the necklace, but Grace stopped her.

“This is a gift from me, you don’t have to remove it.” Grace looked at Vivian with composure, “Yes, Alicia does come from a poor family. She even had to rely on student loans to cover her tuition fees. But if the school were to investigate, they would still find this to be the case. The necklace and the clothes Alicia is wearing are gifts from me. If you have any doubts, you should come to me, not pick on her.”

“From you? Hah,” Vivian scoffed, sneering, “How much money do you have to afford this brand-name necklace? It’s worth more than all four years of your college expenses. Unless…you bought a fake.”

“Given Grace’s status, she wouldn’t need to buy fakes.” Alicia retorted before she could stop herself.

Her comment provoked a laugh from Vivian, “Status? What status does she have?”

“The status of being Carter Harrison’s daughter.” Alicia held her chin high, the pride she had been suppressing for hours finally bursting out.

Her friend turned out to be the daughter of a wealthy man.

While she knew such boastfulness wasn’t a reflection of her normal values, but it felt so good!

She wanted to see the look on Vivian’s face when she got hit with the truth.

However, upon hearing that, Vivian was just surprised for a moment and then started laughing, “Carter Harrison’s daughter? Really? Just because your last names are the same, don’t think you can claim that you’re related. If she really was Carter Harrison’s daughter, would she be living so frugally?”

Before Grace showed up, Vivian had already investigated her background. Grace’s mother was a housewife, and her father was just an ordinary construction worker. No one in Grace’s family had a desirable social status.

“Carter Harrison’s daughter? You’re really creative.” Vivian giggled, her face turning red with laughter, “You really think I’m that gullible? If she’s Carter Harrison’s daughter, then I must be Carter Harrison’s son!”

Alicia’s face turned crimson with rage. She was about to argue back but was stopped by Grace, “Let it be. We can’t convince a person who pretends to be asleep. Some people just won’t admit they’re wrong until it’s too late, no matter what we say.”

Vivian snorted coldly, seeing that Grace was so confident that it made her feel uneasy.

She didn’t know much about the Harrison family. She was here today, acting as Damian Thompson’s assistant.

Damian was too busy in Sunnydale and originally he should have come today, yet he sent his assistant instead. In fact, she was not qualified for this, but she pleaded with Damian’s previous assistant and he let her have the ticket.

She was here representing both herself and the Thompson family.

If Grace really was Carter Harrison’s daughter…

No, no way!

If Grace really was Carter Harrison’s daughter, it would’ve been known by now. It’s not like it would still be a secret allowing others to bully her.

Grace is definitely putting up a show.

Yes, that must be it!

With that thought, Vivian Wilson calmed down and quickly regained her composure.

“Just because your surname is the same, don’t think you can claim the relation. Carter Harrison’s daughter is not someone you can pretend to be.” She looked up and down at Grace, with a hint of uncertainty in her heart.

The clothes on Grace did not appear fake.

If they weren’t gifted by Molly, then how did she get them?

A question floated in her mind, as if it was about to reveal the truth but she just couldn’t figure it out.

“Yes, you’re right. I can’t pretend to be more than I am. Even Carter Harrison’s daughter is an ordinary person, she can’t be much more noble than anyone else.” Grace nodded in agreement, “Whether I am Carter Harrison’s daughter or not is not important, but when you claim to be Carter Harrison’s son, Vivian, does Damian Thompson know that you’re behaving so arrogantly?”
