“Oh Noah, I think Graceland is still trying to punish me for last night. I don’t understand why she’s being so hostile.”

Foolish.

Noah’s eyes darted over to me. His face began to redden with irritation.

“Graceland, just what the hell are you doing! Look, the necklace thing is over! How long are you going to keep this attitude.”

I smiled sardonically at Noah causing his eyes to widen.

“I’ve done nothing wrong. Please ask your family‘ why they are yet again accusing me stealing simply because I went to the store.”

Noah looked at his brothers.

“Is that true?”

Brian immediately objected.

“That’s not what happened! We asked her where she got the money from to go shopping!”

Noah’s brows furrowed. It must’ve dawned on him that the Rochesters never once gave me spending money. Turning back to me, he looked as if he were demanding an explanation. Rolling my eyes, I began to answer.

“As I explained to your brothers, I have been getting paid to tutor. Not everyone wants me taking their tests, doing their homework, or working on proposals without so much as a thank

you.”

Noah’s eyes widen in shock, he knew exactly what I was referring too. Suddenly, Sharon spoke up.

“You see Noah! Such venom!!”

Noah looked at his mother with an annoyed expression. He’d already spoke with her this morning and here we were again. Suddenly, Olivia spoke up, slight tears still in her voice.

“Grace, we were all just worried about you. We didn’t know you had money to go shopping.”

I looked at Olivie, a smile across my lips that didn’t reach my eyes.

“I’m curious Olivia. Exactly how DID you find out I went to the mall? Did Tiffany tell you?”

Olivia’s face instantly paled, in an attempt to feign concern, she’d given herself away.

“Y–Yes, Tiff said she saw you in the sto-”

I lifted my hand cutting Olivia off, this might be a moment for a little fun. I began to

muster up some tears.

“Wow. So, Tiffany called you about me buying a dress? Huh. You know, I only decided to buy this dress because she accused our family of being broke.”

Olivia’s face turned to anger.

“That’s a lie!!”

I looked at Olivia, tears now coming down.

“No…it isn’t. She said the Rochesters must be going broke seeing as to how I could only wear hand–me–downs.”

“Is that true!”

“Noah that can’t be true! Tiffany didn’t say that!”

“Olivia, how would you know? You weren’t there.”

“Grace, I’m not saying you’re lying, it’s just…Tiffany is my best friend. She would never say something like that. Maybe you misunderstood her.”

1 smiled lightly at Olivia.

“Maybe.”

Olivia smiled smugly, thinking she’d won that round. Cole interjected happily.

“I’m glad that’s all cleared up! Let’s go to the theater room! Noah, you got home just in time,

we were about to watch a movie with Livie.”

Before Noah could answer, Brian began to bark at me.

“What’s with the look!”

I smiled somberly.

“Nothing. I was just wondering how Tiffany would know I wore hand–me–downs to begin with. Lucky guess I suppose.”

With that, I turned and headed to my room, leaving them all in silence. After I left the

room, I could hear Noah bark at Olivia.

“I don’t want you hanging with that girl anymore!”

“Noah!”

“No buts! Anyone that speaks down on the Rochesters will be given no mercy!”

I smirked as I walked to my room. ‘So fake crying does have its advantages.‘
