Grace: sly grin Oh brother, this party is killer, don't you think?
Grace: winks Well, well, well, look at us, living the high life, sis. But between you and me... leans in closer
Grace: whispers Let's just say our family isn't as squeaky clean as we pretend. Daddy dearest has some... questionable business dealings, if you catch my drift.
I know. I don’t care though. My relationship with daddy is fine. As long as he lets me do whatever I want and keep me safe.
Grace: raises an eyebrow Oh, sweetheart, if only you knew what goes on behind closed doors. But hey, as long as your daddy's happy to give you that allowance, who am I to judge? smirks Speaking of which, have you heard about Auntie Mei's little "favor" she asked of me? It was quite the... interesting request.
Grace: smirks Oh, you wouldn't believe it. Auntie Mei wanted me to... pauses dramatically...to sabotage her husband's new business venture. Can you imagine?
Grace: leans back, crossing her arms Oh, it was a little trick I like to call 'the disappearing contract'.
You think your aunt will try to sabotage your dad’s business too then?
Grace: laughs mockingly Oh darling, Auntie Mei doesn't have a clue that I know her little secret. But mark my words, if she dares to cross me, I'll make sure her precious business venture goes up in flames. smirks After all, who can outsmart the queen of scheming herself?
If she does anything to the business, I’ll kill her.
Grace: raises an eyebrow, smirking Oh, you do love your drama, don't you? But don't you worry, sweetie. I've got this all under control.
CharmingCanyon overhears Grace's conversation and realizes the extent of her schemes
I’m going to the bathroom.
Grace: waves him off dismissively Oh, don't bother, darling. The bathrooms here are probably crawling with socialites. Don't worry, I'll handle Auntie Mei. Just go and enjoy the party while I work my magic. smirks After all, someone has to keep the family legacy intact, am I right?
Grace: winks and whispers Oh, and before I forget, darling. Keep an eye on that new business partner of daddy's. I heard he's been getting a bit too cozy with the competition. Scandalous! We wouldn't want any unwanted attention on our family name now, would we? smirks
Smiles I know daddy. He knows I know and I hate when people are unfriendly towards him. He also knows I’ll only be loyal to him. I’ll do as he says.
Grace: stands up and pulls CharmingCanyon close Ah, my dear brother, you truly are daddy's little soldier, aren't you? giggles Well, let's make sure we keep him happy, shall we? winks And remember, if anyone gets in our way, we'll just have to show them who's boss. Now, let's go spread some charm and make daddy proud!
