That had always been a thought buried deep in Yelena’s heart, but she never acted on it. Every time Lily flaunted her expensive jewelry, the idea would surge wildly in Yelena’s mind. Now that Grace had mentioned it, it was as if Pandora’s box had been opened. “Grace, how can you be sure?”

Andrew was Lily’s husband and Yancey’s father. “Sure Andrew will fall for it?” Grace pulled out a small bottle of pills from her bag. “Have you ever heard of a honey trap? People in elite circles like going to a place called Velvet Eclipse. I can get you in; you just need to make sure Andrew drinks this. It’ll be too late for him when he wakes up and sees you beside him.”

Grace added, “Of course, you could always skip that and just sleep with him outright. It’s not like Andrew has ever been a faithful man. He has several lovers behind Lily’s back.” The only reason Lily tolerated it was because she knew when to back down from exposing things. A man who cheated once would always cheat again.

Lily understood that, which allowed her to maintain her secure position. After all, their son, Yancey, was a grown man. Andrew’s father, Jordan, was always keeping an eye on things too, so Andrew wouldn’t dare let his affairs get out of hand.

It might have been the allure of Grace’s voice, but Yelena felt a rush of excitement. She grabbed the bottle and slipped it into her purse. “Grace, you have to keep your word.” Grace stood up. “We can act tonight.”

Yelena suppressed the tremors of excitement coursing through her body and took a deep breath. “Alright, I’ll be waiting for your call.”

Grace sat there for about half an hour before getting up to leave. As she was about to, she ran into Lily at the entrance. Lily’s expression instantly darkened. “Gra?”

Having already given up on acting civilly, Grace couldn’t be bothered to put on an act and simply left. Lily was furious. “Grace, you’re about to get married to Hendricks. Don’t you know how to respect your elders?”

Grace turned around and asked calmly, “Did that glass of cold wine not sober you up? What makes you think you have any say in my marriage?”

The last time anyone talked to Lily that way, she was still a mistress. People who had climbed their way to the top never wanted to remember the dirt they crawled through to get there, especially when that dirt was disgraceful. But Grace happened to strike at the wounds Lily hated most.

Lily spat out, “You’ll see whether I have a say in your marriage or not in a few days.”

Grace’s lips curled into a faint smile. “You won’t even have the time to meddle in my marriage in a few days.”

Lily didn’t understand the meaning behind Grace’s words. She scoffed coldly and didn’t bother responding.

Once Grace left, Lily immediately called Hendricks. “Hendricks, on the first day Grace marries you, make sure she learns her place.”

“Don’t worry, I’ll make sure she’s completely obedient.” Hendricks had bragged to everyone about how Grace was going to be his wife. He had even extended an invitation to Sloan to join in… with Grace in the future. “Once I get tired of her, you can have your turn anytime,” Hendricks had said. But he only had eyes for Alice. He didn’t care about Grace at all.

That day, Grace originally planned to ask Joanne for help to get Yelena into Velvet Eclipse. Velvet Eclipse was a high-end establishment with tight security; she didn’t know who else to ask if not Joanne. But Joanne sounded very hesitant on the phone, and Grace didn’t want to make things hard for her. After she hung up, Grace had no idea who to call. As she scrolled on her phone, she happened to land on Ethan’s name.

Erhan happened to send her a message at that moment. It was a location pin… It happened to be right at Velvet Eclipse. Her eyes lit up, and she immediately replied, “Got it.” She figured that Bilan had been lying for them and was already by then, and it made sense to her to pick up with her current employment. Orient Triport had an unstated membership policy. Grace was technically a member, but her reputation was secure since she would make a scene because of Yancey every time she showed up.
