James looked at her, standing there in an elegant purple silk dress that accentuated her perfect figure. Even though Grace was in her forties, her body and face were impeccably maintained, making her look as though she were only in her early thirties.

Inside, a tempest of fury and shame was brewing, but outwardly, James remained calm. He was a skilled actor, after all.
"Tell me, who is that man?" James asked coldly. Though he didn't explode with anger, the icy chill radiating from him made Grace's heart skip a beat. Could it be…? Had her affair been exposed?
