Chapter 190: Divorce Her!
William’s eyes widened in disbelief as he realized Gracia was alive. Ignoring the fact that he was slapped in front of the entire world, he took a step forward and hugged her tightly.
"Gracie...." Tears formed at the corners of his eyes, his throat tight with emotion. He couldn’t express how happy and relieved he was to know that she wasn’t dead! She wasn’t gone from his life forever.
Meanwhile, Sophia could barely hide her expression. Her face turned paler than a ghost, her eyes almost popping out as cameras zoomed in on her for better TRP.
Now that the real madam was miraculously back, what would happen to her? Would she be kicked out? Many could already see the future unraveling—Sophia was just a placeholder. William loved Gracia, and no one could save her from being thrown out now.
Sophia then turned to Evelyn, who was smirking with satisfaction. Feeling her gaze, Evelyn raised her glass and took a sip of the wine Sophia had herself prepared for this party.
Sophia gritted her teeth, realizing why Evelyn had been so silent all these weeks. It seemed Evelyn had forgotten entirely about Annabelle, her thirst to bring her down, and had focused instead on her happiness and family. At least, that’s what Sophia’s spies inside the Reign mansion had told her. But who knew Evelyn had been planning this surprise all along? Sophia sneered, ashamed of herself for believing the act and letting the victory taste cloud her intuition.
"That annoying prick! He couldn’t do one job right!" Sophia muttered, thinking about Maverick. When they had received intel that someone had visited Gracia, they decided to get rid of her quickly.
Maverick had even happily reported that Lobos had finished her, assuring Sophia she no longer needed to worry. The memory of their celebration turned Sophia’s face red with anger, her eyes falling on Zevian beside Evelyn. Of course, he must have been the mastermind behind all of this! Without him, they would never have discovered Gracia was still alive.
But she still couldn’t understand how quickly Gracia had recovered. Declared completely mad, and mentally unstable, Sophia had decided to let her live and enjoy the madness. No way... did Gracia fool them all this time?
"Get your dirty hands off me!" Gracia’s voice broke through the crowd’s murmurs. She pushed William away so hard that he stumbled back in shock.
Sophia quickly moved forward and helped him, "Honey! Are you fine?"
