Mandy was mostly convinced, but she still remembered the times Grace had tricked her in the past. Even though they had grown closer recently, Mandy remained cautious. Occasionally, she’d give Grace a few thousand dollars here and there, thinking of it as charity, but when it came to serious family matters, Mandy always kept her guard up.
Grace wouldn’t just bring up such a topic for no reason—she had to have a motive.
Mandy rolled her eyes. “Grace, just say what you really want.”
“I don’t want anything,” Grace replied with a smile. “I’m barely scraping by as it is, worrying about where I’ll sleep or eat. How could I be thinking about all this? I’m only mentioning it so you can keep an eye out for yourself.”
Mandy was skeptical. “And what’s your brilliant idea?”
Grace lowered her head and smirked. “It’s quite simple, really. Find a trustworthy girl and have her marry Vincent. But this girl needs to be someone who’ll listen to you.”
