Mckenzie was suggesting to Grace that Hailee was her guest, and Grace had no right to interfere in the matter.
Besides, she was reminding Grace that it was disrespectful for a daughter-in-law to interfere in her mother-in-law's affairs.
Sitting on the sofa, Charlie said nothing. He neither spoke for Grace nor for Mckenzie.
Grace’s anger finally overflowed. She turned around and went upstairs.
Then she came down with a suitcase in her hand.
Charlie stood up immediately and held her waist, "Grace, please." "I've made it clear before that if she moves in, I'll move out. Let me go!" Grace said unsympathetically.
"Honey--"Charlie drew out that word.
Grace just replied, "It's not negotiable."
She left while Mckenzie called Charlie. She found a hotel at random and checked in.
When Charlie returned to the living room, Grace was long gone.
"Damn it!"
Charlie took the glass, but suddenly he did not want to drink.
After thinking for a moment, he picked up the coat on the sofa and walked out of the living room.
Mackenzie followed Charlie and asked him to have dinner, but Charlie rejected.
Instead of using her own Social Security card to book the hotel, Grace spent some money borrowing someone else's. She did it so that Charlie wouldn’t find her.
All she cared about was Charlie's attitude. He had acquiesced in Mckenzie’s decision to bring Hailee in without her knowledge. It was too much for her!
Obviously, they ignored her and didn't consider her feelings. She wouldn't let it go easily!
Charlie was frustrated when he could not find his wife.
Then he went to the bar where Mark, Billy, and Summer were there.
"Come on. There's no point in showing your hot temper to me. Go back and teach them a lesson! They are no match for you!"
Hearing that, Grace thought hard over this matter.
She said nastily, "Shit! It's too embarrassing for me to take the initiative to go back!"
"So, you're not going back?"
"Why? They want me out of the villa. Why should I please them?"
Grace snorted, pulled the suitcase, and intended to return to the villa.
When she went upstairs, she came across
Mackenize, "What are you doing with your suitcase so late?"
"I didn't want to wear some clothes, so I threw them away," Grace said coolly.
