Regret Came Too Late (Grace and Ethan)

The butler nodded his head slightly and lowered his voice. "The surveillance we got from Velvet Eclipse is incomplete. No one was caught on camera."

No one in Druville knew who the owner of Velvet Eclipse was. The mysterious owner had never revealed themselves, but everyone knew that Velvet Eclipse raked in money on the daily. No one dared to cause any trouble there because it was the favorite haunt of the rich elite.

Jordan had the means to pressure Velvet Eclipse and potentially uncover the mastermind behind everything, but it would be embarrassing if he had to personally handle it. After all, it was just petty drama between the younger generation, and it was over something so disgraceful at that.

He took a deep breath and suppressed his rage. "Move up Yancey and Alice's wedding. Bury this matter."

The marriage between Yancey and Alice had already been in the works anyway. It was just that the Lambert family needed to handle Grace's marriage first. Now, with just one command from Jordan, Alice and Yancey's wedding was moved forward to the end of the month.

That had originally been Grace's wedding date.

Alice was overjoyed as she rested her hand on her stomach. "Mom, then what about Grace and Hendricks?"

Grace was supposed to marry that scumbag, Hendricks, but Alice's own marriage ended up getting pulled forward.

Alice wouldn't feel satisfied if Grace managed to avoid the disaster because of that. "Why not just send her straight to the Henderson family? Grace has probably been so disobedient lately because she doesn't have a man looking after her."

Carmen doted on Alice, so she immediately agreed, "Don't worry. I'll send Grace over once your wedding is settled."

Only then did Alice feel at ease. Just the thought of Grace spending the rest of her life with a scumbag like Hendricks made her lips curl into a satisfied smile.

She immediately sent a message to Grace. "You absolutely have to come to my wedding with Yancey, Grace. Thank you for picking out such a wonderful husband for me. I'm very satisfied with him."

When Grace received the message, she replied with only one word.

"Congratulations."

Alice stared at that cold, emotionless word and felt like Grace wasn't sad at all. That didn't seem right to her.

She immediately called, but Grace didn't pick up.

Alice sat on the couch, seething as she clutched her phone tightly. After that, she sent another message.

"The day I returned to the Lambert family and saw you in that dress, standing beside Yancey, I knew you wouldn't have a bright future. Grace, you'll never be better than me. The people around you will always like me better. Everyone will abandon you."

Grace blocked the number without hesitation. After she confirmed that the couple's wedding had been moved up, Grace relaxed. She would finally be rid of the two of them.

But her relief didn't last too long before Yancey showed up at her door.

Last night, he had kept an eye on Grace and knew that Grace had stayed at Velvet Eclipse for a long time. After that, the incident with his father happened. "Grace, was my father's incident your doing?"

Yancey didn't know why he thought that way, but when the chaos broke out at home that morning, he suddenly thought about Grace the night before.

He had rushed over in a hurry just to ask her in person.

Grace didn't open the door. Her voice remained calm as she replied, "Do you think I have that kind of power?"

"Grace!" Yancey was so furious that he punched the door. He stood outside and panted.

Logic told him there was no proof. If it had really been Grace's doing, Jordan would not let her off.

After all, it was a matter of the Henderson family's honor. An hour ago, Jordan had been so angry that he threw a cup at Andrew, which drew blood.noveldrama

Yancey took a deep breath. "You'd better pray you had nothing to do with this. I don't care how ruthless you were before, but you shouldn't have dragged my family into it."

Grace didn't bother responding.

Since it was the weekend, Grace didn't need to work. She had just been about to head over to her bedroom to take a nap when Yancey suddenly blurted out, "That night at my house-was it Ethan who came to pick you up?"

His heart was incredibly anxious. Ever since he noticed how Grace acted around Ethan last night, he hadn't been able to sleep at all.
