She completely disregarded Kassidy.
To her, Kassidy was merely a distant relative!
Driven by her desire to create bonds with the influential Bryant family, Florence had selected Marina as Grady’s
wife. In doing so, she managed to irritate Loraine. Feeling regret, she welcomed Kassidy, who expressed her
desire to join the Cruz family through marriage.

promises either.
Florence merely saw Kassidy as a backup plan. She wished to find a superior match for Grady.
And behold, Loraine stood without a doubt as the perfect choice!

uncle, he held significant power. This fact indicated a powerful future for Loraine.

the Bryant Group. Not only in Vagow, but even in Zodiac, Loraine’s assets made her widely recognized and
admired. She was undoubtedly the ideal match for Grady.

Nevertheless, Florence paid her no mind and affectionately grasped
Loraine’s hand. With a beaming smile, she complimented, “Loraine, just look at you! Young, stunning, wealthy,
and successful. The perfect picture of who my future daughter-in-Law should be!”
Florence lauded Loraine, aligning her with the standards of her future daughter-in-law. Observing this, the other
guests exchanged surprised glances, taken aback.
