Chapter 79: A Tumultuous Engagement Grace's eyes sparkled with a smile that seemed to illuminate the room. Yanory rose in anger and strode over to her. "Who are you chatting with? Why are you smiling so happily? Have you forgotten who you are?" He reached for Grace's phone, attempting to snatch it away, but she deftly dodged him, her expression once again becoming emotionless. "Mrs. Henderson, please observe how your son is behaving.

He is emotionally unstable, and I do not wish for my future husband to be like this. Therefore, this engagement must end. I will not stay for the meal today. I wish him and Alice happiness," Grace stated firmly, clutching her phone tightly. Yancey suddenly pushed her shoulder down. "Grace, look at me and say that again!" His grip was forceful, causing her shoulder pain, indicating the intensity of his actions. Grace furrowed her brow and pushed him away.

"Yancey, why don't you look at dear Alice's expression?" Yancey turned to see Alice, who stood nearby with a few cups in her hands. Despite a dark expression, she forced a smile upon feeling Yancey's gaze. "Yancey, don't worry about me. I'll support you no matter your choice." Yancey's face darkened as he took a few steps back. Lily interjected, "Yancey, what is your decision? Grace or Alice?" Her tone was sharp, reflecting her concern for her son and disapproval of Grace's behavior.

Yancey, torn between his feelings for both women and unsettled by Grace's demeanor, found himself speechless in the midst of the confrontation. Just then, a voice interrupted from the doorway. "Lily, Yancey, what is happening?" Hendricks, dressed elegantly, was captivated by Grace's beauty, drawing his attention away from the tension in the room. Grace's allure was undeniable, leaving a lasting impression on Hendricks.

Lily, eager to welcome her brother, quickly diverted the focus from the conflict. "Come in and sit down. Let's discuss this later. For now, let's eat!" Grace, however, insisted, "Mrs. Henderson, I prefer to resolve this matter promptly." Lily's expression soured at Grace's persistence, feeling repeatedly humiliated by her actions. Hendricks, sensing the escalating tension, whispered to Lily, expressing concern about Grace's behavior and Yancey's growing attraction.

He proposed a solution, suggesting himself as a match for Grace to ease the situation. Lily, already exasperated with Grace, and considering her brother's interest in Grace, made a swift decision. "I like her very much. Yancey has no interest in her anyway, so why not let me pursue her?" Lily agreed, "Alright, I will speak to them later." Hendricks was pleased with the outcome, confident in his ability to handle Grace and eager to pursue a relationship with her.
