[American Entertainment] Bright life

Such a voice of 'accusation' came in, and Grace was still doing well. She has always been indifferent to this kind of words similar to 'pissoff', so Raymond restrained his expression. The visitor was not kind, and on the one hand, he couldn't help lighting up the wax for the other party. Raymond had never seen anyone who could get away with it after targeting Grace.

"Raymond, tell me." Grace casually glanced at the woman who interrupted her conversation with Raymond, and said so with her gaze back.

"Me?" Raymond felt the pressure on his shoulders suddenly increased. He thought for a while and imitated Grace's usual tone of spraying venom and said to the flushed Caroline Lownds, "Since you know about this Why say it when it's not your turn to speak up, it's not fair. Grace, what did I say, Grace?"

Grace's bright and cold eyes pierced directly on Caroline Lownds' face, "You are not an invited guest."

Caroline Lowndes tried to justify: "But I'm—"

"I know who you are. I can tell from the non-tailored gown you're wearing that you're not an invited guest; you have calluses on your middle knuckles and fingertips, indicating that you write and type a lot, typical In addition, since you can appear at Mr. Green's banquet, and you still mention Mr. Green with strong personal emotions, I can determine that you are Mr. Green, my father's secretary." Grace judged After finishing, he half-closed his eyes and said with a half-smile, "Do you know what's interesting, Miss Secretary?"

Caroline Lownds couldn't help asking: "What?"

Just as Grace was about to speak, she noticed Angus walking towards him. When Angus approached, she pursed her lips: "It seems that you also noticed it."

The words were nonsensical, but Angus understood. He didn't even give Caroline Lowndes a spare look, so he walked over and put his arms around Grace's shoulders: "I'll have someone take her to you." Get out." His blue eyes, which were darker than Grace's pupils, looked at his sister, and Grace, who understood what he was conveying, was rarely silent.

Apparently, Caroline Lowndes did not have this self-awareness. Perhaps because of the superiority brought about by the uniqueness of being able to attend the banquet as Roderick's secretary, she actually brought this matter to Roderick. .

Roderick's face changed suddenly when Caroline Lownds mentioned Grace, and he became particularly ugly.

Caroline Lowndes, who thought that Roderick was complaining about her, couldn't hide her secret joy, but the expressions of the guests around her became subtle, obviously thinking that this was another sparrow trying to fly up the branch and become a phoenix, but It's no longer the 'American Dream'.Leaving aside Angus Green, the successor of Roderick Green is the Grace Green who has not been in New York all the year round. It seems that she is not liked by Roderick Green. After all, she was exiled to London. So far, I have never been in touch with the Green family's property, but in fact, it is said that the previous head of the Green family, that is, the grandfather of Grace Green, left nearly 40% of his estate to this granddaughter. This alone is enough to know She is definitely not to be underestimated, not to mention that this is...a high-IQ genius with a unique quirk.

——Obviously they have seen Grace's deduction and are deeply impressed by it.

So yes, the 'battlefield' has moved from the second floor to the lobby on the first floor.

It is obvious that Caroline Lowndes is very "loyal". When Grace took Angus's hand, she was repeating to Roderick what Grace said about his hypocrisy. Of course, the word "hypocrisy" seemed difficult for her to say. Grace kindly helped her complete, "Hypocritical, I say Mr. Green is hypocritical, and I don't think it would be difficult for you to say that word, given that you had a rhinoplasty and raised your cheekbones .”

Grace glanced again at the face of Caroline Lowndes, who had dark brown hair, which was more reddish to some extent, and said in a non-sentimental tone: "Here is the interesting thing, facial plastic The shape is to make myself more in line with the mainstream aesthetics. Although I don't agree with this behavior of changing my identification code, it is undeniable that it does please the senses of people other than me to a certain extent. Oh , that's not the point, the point is dear secretary, after you underwent facial plastic surgery, you are not as pleasant as before, which makes me curious—"

The guests who had undergone facial plastic surgery looked at their noses, noses, noses, and hearts, and they were extremely calm, but Roderick's expression was even worse. He stopped Grace before she could say her reasoning, "Grace! Don't do it again." Let's go on..."

Grace looked at Roderick, who didn't seem to be in a rage, and finally her voice fluctuated slightly: "Are you begging me?"

Roderick nodded without hesitation: "Yes."

Grace twitched the corners of her mouth, and finally spit out a "yes".

Doesn't this direction seem right?Is someone really going to realize her 'American Dream'?

Raymond felt that this conversation was more like the thoughtless conversation between Grace and Angus earlier, and there must be something hidden in it.He recalled the previous situation, and then fixed his eyes on Caroline Lownds' face. He didn't pay much attention when the lights were not so bright on the second floor just now, but looking at it now, Caroline Lownds looks very beautiful. Kind of like Grace, no, exactly, she looked like his dead aunt Elizabeth Green.No wonder, Grace's behavior was so strange. In the car accident, Elizabeth protected Grace under her body. Grace got a glimmer of life, but Elizabeth failed to survive. It was undoubtedly Grace's backlash.

At this time, the reversal came again. Roderick called someone in to take Caroline Lownds away. Obviously, it was not a polite way to see off guests. Oh, Caroline Lowndes was not an invited guest. She couldn't believe it at the same time, but obviously she didn't have room to comment.

"Wait." After Caroline Lownds was "invited" a few steps outside, Grace lazily said again: "I have a suggestion, dear secretary, if you Next time you want to learn an authentic Oxford accent, you must hire a tutor who is not from East London."

"I don't understand what you're talking about." Caroline Lowndes also had an elegant Oxford accent, but it was deformed in panic.

"Really, it's actually Miss Secretary from East Texas, USA?" Grace said that her authentic Oxford accent seamlessly switched to a Texas accent, and then switched her Texas accent to a London accent, and continued. Said: "Fortunately, I have some talent in linguistics, and the blending of accents is very interesting."

In the end, it was integrated into the fusion version of the Oxford accent used by Caroline Lownds earlier, "You think so, Miss Secretary, oh, maybe I should call you Miss Commercial Spy?"

silent.

The bright smile on Grace's face was fleeting, she didn't care about the silence she created, and said to Angus who had been standing by her side all the time: "I think I can provide additional information about Miss Commercial Espionage's investigation direction." Help, she had a comminuted fracture of the calf bone in her left leg, which I infer from five or six years ago based on healing, and she was at Princeton University. Oh, I hope Princeton University was not offended."

Silence again.

No matter how dubious the other people present were about Grace's statement, Roderick and Angus absolutely trusted her. Angus rarely laughed and said to his sister, "I will."

Caroline Lownds subconsciously looked at Roderick, and Roderick waved her hand to let her continue to be invited out. Caroline Lownds' face became even paler. She lowered her head and was about to walk out dejectedly. Grace The voice sounded again: "Do you know where your biggest flaw is?"

Caroline Lowndes did not look up.

Grace didn't care either, and she continued to say: "Mr. Green, my father doesn't hate me." Obviously, Caroline Lowndes would go to Grace to find a sense of presence because she fell in love with Luo Derek, and thinks that Roderick hates Grace, she must follow in Roderick's footsteps.

"He loves me." But hates her.

……

Grace didn't care that Roderick would treat Caroline Lowndes and the mastermind behind her—obviously, there was a deliberate mastermind behind Caroline Lowndes, and this mastermind must be Roderick Only then would he know about Elizabeth--what to do, it wasn't her business, was it?

Oh, and she did have another big fight with Mr. Green about the unhealthy defense mechanism he's shown in the matter.For example, the escape mechanism he showed in the event of Elizabeth's death, and the empathy psychology that was born from it, and so on.In other words, the relationship between their father and daughter has not been eased by this incident.

The day after the big quarrel, Roderick asked someone to send over a stack of scripts. It was obvious that Grace wanted to shoot whichever movie she wanted. Check big capitalists, wherever the check goes, the door of convenience is wide open.

Grace let out a sarcastic snort through her nose, "Typical ritual and offset."

Raymond was confused by their father-daughter relationship of "one moment sunny and one moment rainy", and finally he decided that he would not follow along. He was just a goldfish with seven seconds of memory.This reminded him, so let's search for what 'ritual and offset' means.
