Anne knew Grace disliked her, but she hadn’t realized just how deeply.
She’d thought carrying the Wright family’s child would give her leverage over Grace, but it * turned out Grace didn’t care in the slightest. She was even willing to cast Dylan aside over

When Anne glanced at Dylan again, did she catch a hint of satisfaction in his eyes?
A cold light flashed in hers as she leaned closer to him and whispered, “Dylan Wright, our deal stays between us. I don’t want anyone else to know about it. So, when you speak to your grandmother, you’d better watch what you say.”
Grace already despised her enough. If she learned Dylan had agreed to marry her solely because of Suzy, her disdain would only grow deeper.
Anne’s gaze turned sharp, filled with icy malice, but she quickly masked it. Dylan shifted his focus to Grace, his expression calm but his words firm.
“What you’re asking, I can’t do.”
Grace’s face turned ashen, and she staggered back. If not for Diana rushing down from upstairs to catch her, she might have fallen.
Diana had been upstairs listening to everything unfold.
In the past, she wouldn’t have hesitated to confront Anne the moment she stepped foot into the house. But now…
Even though time had passed, she still couldn’t fully accept the changes to her
Still, Dylan’s actions today were the last straw.

After steadying Grace, Diana turned her full fury on Dylan, her voice trembling with anger as she pointed at Anne. “For this woman, you’d even turn your back on Grandma?”
Dylan’s decision might have been for Suzy’s sake, but that didn’t stop Anne from gloating.
She walked over to Dylan, boldly looping her arm through his and smirking triumphantly at Diana and Grace. “You might not care about the child I’m carrying, but as the father, he doesn’t have the luxury of ignoring it.”
Diana didn’t hesitate. Her hand shot out, landing a sharp slap across Anne’s face. “I’m talking to my brother. Who gave you the right to interrupt?”
Anne, furious, raised her hand to strike back, but before it could reach Diana’s face, Dylan Intercepted her with a firm grip. Without a word, he grabbed her and started leading her

“Dylan Wright! There are plenty of women in this world–why does it have to be this shameless one?” Diana shouted after him, her voice filled with rage.
Dylan didn’t stop or even look back, his steps steady and unrelenting.
However, Anne glanced over her shoulder with a smug gri
“Obviously because he loves me,” she retorted, her tone dripping with mockery. “That’s why no other woman catches his eye, especially not that Suzy
Before she could finish, Dylan tightened his grip and quickened his pace, cutting her off.
With his long strides and determined speed, Anne was practically dragged along, stumbling several times as she struggled to keep up. A few near falls left her glaring in frustration, but Dylan didn’t slow down.
Grace observed the scene quietly, her sharp gaze narrowing. She reached out to steady Diana, who was red–faced with anger. “Maybe your brother has his reasons?”
“Reasons?” Diana scoffed, disbelief written all over her face. “He looked perfectly fine me. And to think I went out of my way to help him and Suzy reconcile, hoping they’d get back together. Thank goodness she doesn’t love him anymore. Imagine how heartbroken she’d be if she saw this!!
At the mention of Suzy, a pang of guilt flickered across Diana’s face.
After a moment of thought, she turned to Grace “Grandma, even if Suzy doesn’t care anymore, I still want to check on her. I can’t let that vile woman go running her mouth and stirring up trouble for her.”
Grace nodded in agreement. “I’ll go with you. It’s been far too long since I last saw that girl. With everything happening at the Harlow Corporation, I should’ve visited her sooner. If not for my health acting up, I would’ve already gone to check on her.”
