From a distance, she caught sight of Evelyn Clayton in her red dress, and her eyes brightened even more.
The fabric of the red dress was elegant, as if she wore moonlight itself, and the tailoring was exquisite, further accentuating Evelyn Clayton’s graceful figure.
Just as she was about to approach, another figure stepped in first, blocking Evelyn Clayton’s path.
"Didn’t expect Miss Chi to really show up?" Summer Monroe stepped forward in her high heels, her gaze towards Evelyn Clayton filled with mockery and disdain, "Miss Chi has been entangled with James Grant for quite some time, you must have invested a lot of effort?"
"And in the end? He chose capital without hesitation over your cheap companionship."
Such a perfect opportunity to mock, Summer Monroe would naturally not miss it.
The world is very realistic, so realistic it’s cruel.
Thinking back to the last time they met, and how coldly Evelyn Clayton had treated her, it left her feeling utterly unbalanced—
What status did Evelyn Clayton have, to be worthy?
However, the expected anger and embarrassment didn’t appear on Evelyn Clayton’s face.
On the contrary, she slightly lifted her lips, her words calm, but her smile contemptuous.
"How he chooses is his business; my own value isn’t diminished by anyone. What’s there to be embarrassed about coming here?"
"But as for you, Miss Summer, why didn’t someone as wealthy and well-connected as you catch James Grant’s eye, even though he chose capital without hesitation? Everyone symbolizes capital, yet you were still not chosen. Isn’t that more pathetic? Instead of chatting with me, why not look in the mirror at yourself?"
Evelyn Clayton’s response hit Summer Monroe right in her sore spot.
If James Grant had been the kind of romantic, deeply in love with Evelyn Clayton, she might have let it slide.
Feelings are hard to figure out; she couldn’t do anything about him.
But he ultimately chose Lynn Yates...
In terms of personal qualities, she couldn’t compare to Evelyn Clayton.
Financially, she couldn’t compete with Lynn Yates.

"You!" Summer Monroe, accustomed to compliments, was already frustrated by losing out repeatedly in front of Evelyn Clayton. Her heart was already angered, and her words only incited her fury further.
"Miss Chi can only argue with words. Without James Grant, without the studio, can you still hold up?"
"That’s none of your concern."
After leaving this last sentence, Evelyn Clayton walked past Summer Monroe without even sparing her an extra glance.
Watching Evelyn Clayton’s retreating figure, Summer Monroe grew even more furious.
She turned and headed to the backstage lounge of the banquet hall to complain to Harrison Grant.
Thankfully, James Grant didn’t let Evelyn Clayton into the Grant Family.
Having not made any significant achievements yet, and already so arrogant.
If she really became Mrs. Grant, wouldn’t her tail be up in the air?
Not far away, Iris Lockwood took it all in.
Initially, she thought about going up to support Evelyn Clayton, but seeing how Evelyn Clayton hadn’t lost any ground throughout, she decided otherwise.
Watching Summer Monroe in a rage, Iris Lockwood frowned.
"Evelyn Clayton, does Summer Monroe have some special feelings for James Grant?"
With a woman’s intuition, Iris Lockwood sharply perceived something.
No wonder she always targeted Evelyn Clayton.
Not just a simple business rivalry, but also for James Grant!
"Whether she does or not is none of my business," Evelyn Clayton shook her head, not intending to waste energy speculating about Summer Monroe and James Grant’s relationship; she just wanted to settle herself.
"Let’s go, we shouldn’t just stand here. Let’s go greet everyone, it’s always good to make more friends."
Iris Lockwood wisely stayed silent.
