The banquet had reached its later stages, and everything had settled. Grace had not done anything; she quietly sat in the audience, playing the role of a dutiful high-society lady. Emily was a bit disappointed. She thought Grace would at least do something. Had she really just accepted it like this? This wasn't like her. "Olivia, I'm going to the restroom." Olivia nodded. "Do you need me to go with you?" "No," Emily replied. "I can manage on my own." Olivia cautioned her, "Be careful; there are a lot of people today." "Alright." Emily headed towards the restroom. There weren't as many people as she had expected. While washing her hands, she saw a familiar purple figure in the mirror. She smiled and tucked her hair behind her ear. "Do you have something to say to me?" Grace had already locked the restroom door behind her and stood before Emily. "Emily, is this really necessary? Mutual destruction is the worst outcome." "What are you planning to do to me? I'm listening." Grace's gaze scanned her face, slowly lowering to her abdomen. "You're going to be a mother soon. You should be more magnanimous, or it could affect your baby. Emily, why don't we both take a step back, shall we?" Grace clearly came with a negotiation plan, and Emily was curious to hear her proposal. "What do you have in mind?" Grace lowered her head and smiled. "The one million dollars can be considered Sophia's compensation to you. Whether it's a divorce settlement or emotional compensation, it's your money. One million is no small amount. You used it to outsmart us, and we won't pursue this matter any further. Sophia made mistakes, so let this one million be her apology to you. As for her and Nathan, can you stay out of it?" Emily couldn't help but mentally give Grace a thumbs up for her high-level maneuvering.On the surface, she spoke of the losses she and Sophia had suffered, but she clearly had her own plans. As long as Emily didn't interfere in Nathan and Sophia's affairs, Grace was confident she could ensure Nathan marries Sophia. But Emily wasn't interested in this. "Grace, I don't want to be involved with them anymore. They can do as they please, I won't interfere." Grace smiled slightly. "With your assurance, I'm relieved. So, let's agree not to interfere with each other from now on." "Wait," Emily called out. "Are you forgetting something? I can forgive that Sophia took my husband, but how about you? You steal my mother's husbandf." Grace's expression changed. "Emily, you don't know what happened twenty years ago. Besides, if your father truly had your mother in his heart, how could I have taken him away?" "Because you're very calculating!" Emily said. "Let's set aside what happened twenty years ago. What about now? My father was taken away by Sophia. What are you going to do about it?" Grace now understood that Emily would not back down this time. Emily had used a million dollars to make Logan Morgan abandon the Reed Group, putting Grace at a disadvantage. Emily knew Grace would come to negotiate, so she had been waiting for her in the restroom! Grace smiled wryly. "Tell me, what do you want?" "I want everything to go back to how it should be. I want Logan Morgan to acknowledge me as his daughter." Grace's expression changed. "Logan Morgan may appear to have good financial standing, but you know he's a vain man who spends a lot. His savings aren't as much as you'd think. Otherwise, why would I be so desperate to help Sophia marry Nathan? Emily, you should look at the bigger picture. Your father's wealth isn't as substantial as you imagine." "My goal was never about the money. I told you before, I don't lack money. I just want to fulfill my mother's wish. She gave her life to bring me into this world, and I must have my father acknowledge me." Grace said nothing. Emily waited for her response. "Emily, do you really want to know what happened between your parents? I can tell you.""No need," Emily refused. "I only believe in the truth. Save your lies to appease Logan Morgan. I just wonder if he'll choose his pride or your flattery." Knock, knock, knock. Someone was knocking on the door outside. "Huh, why is the ladies' room locked? Is it under maintenance?" "Is anyone in there?" "Let's get a staff member to open the door..." Before they could finish, the restroom door was opened from the inside. Emily smiled warmly and apologetically. "Sorry, the lady inside had some private matters to deal with, so she locked the door. The restroom is not under maintenance; it's usable." A crowd had gathered outside, having waited for some time. Hearing this, they were all annoyed. "Private matters? Why use a public space for personal business?" Emily raised her eyebrows and looked back at Grace. "Mrs. Morgan, please don't do that again. Look how many people you've inconvenienced." Mrs. Morgan?! Today was Logan Morgan's welcome party, and there was only one Mrs. Morgan in the entire venue. "Such an uncivilized person is Logan Morgan's wife? Logan Morgan is so elegant; how did he marry such a low-class woman..." A group of people muttered as they walked in. Grace was trapped inside, unable to get out, while Emily had already walked away. She had already offended Grace; the war had begun. Who would win or lose depended on their skills. Meanwhile, on the stage, Logan Morgan scanned the audience but couldn't spot Grace. James Taylor noticed. "Mr. Morgan, who are you looking for?" "Oh, my wife was just here. Where did she go?"
