Chapter 171 - True Rivals

Claire couldn't stop her body from shaking, the news shocked her so much that her breath shortened in no time. "How... How come... How come this happens..."

All of the guests glanced towards the source of the crashing sound, wondering what could've happened in the VIP table.

Seeing that all eyes were on them, Gracia immediately stood up and gestured for the servant to clean the shatters. "We are fine. It's just an accident," she said in a firm tone to disperse the suspenseful atmosphere around them. 

The woman wasted no time and helped Claire move out from their table. "Sister, please control your emotion. You should take care of your health," she whispered worriedly as she helped Claire to stand up from her seat and hurriedly led her out of the hall.
