Regret Came Too Late (Grace and Ethan)

Lily and the others were furious when they couldn't find Grace.

Hendricks hadn't expected that Grace would escape again when she was right in front of him. He raised his hand and slapped a bodyguard hard across the face. "Useless! You can't even find one woman! Look into who was in that car. What was the license plate?"

The bodyguard reported the plate number and also emphasized, "That car had a small flag in the front that wasn't too noticeable."

Yancey immediately jumped up in shock. "That's impossible!"

In all of Druville, the only person who was allowed to display a small flag at the front of the car was Ethan, but Ethan hadn't been here in years.noveldrama

Back then, Ethan's legs had been crippled because of Grace. He probably hated her to the core, so why would he pick Grace up?

The bodyguards must have been mistaken.

Yancey felt a growing sense of unease and turned to Lily. "Mom, just look at what happened to the rotten plan you came up with!"

Lily took a deep breath and patted him on the shoulder. "Yancey, why do you get so worked up whenever Grace is mentioned?"

It seemed like Lily had struck a nerve because Yancey hurriedly explained, "That's not it. I just want her to be humiliated and beg for my forgiveness."

Lily grabbed Alice's hand and placed it in his palm. "That's enough. Just focus on treating Alice well in the future. I'll personally discuss the engagement with the Lambert family. Since Hendricks likes Grace, we might as well host two weddings at once."

She was suggesting that Yancey marry Alice while Hendricks married Grace. As for Grace's personal opinion, it wasn't important at all. The Lambert family would agree to it anyway.

Yancey felt like something was choking his throat. He wanted to object to it, but no words came out.

On the other hand, Alice smiled and squeezed Yancey's hand. "Mrs. Henderson, my parents happen to be free right now. Why don't we go pay them a visit? Grace has definitely made a lot of mistakes recently.

If she marries Mr. Parker, he can keep her in check. At least then, my parents won't need to worry about her future anymore."

"That's a good idea. I haven't seen your parents in a while," Lily agreed just like that.

Yancey felt like his soul had been sucked out of him. He didn't even know how he ended up meeting the Lambert family.

Carmen and Quentin agreed wholeheartedly to Lily's idea.

Carmen looked absolutely delighted.

She said, "Lily, this is a wonderful idea. Lately, I've been so stressed about Grace that I'm losing my appetite. She has done so many disgraceful things that I've been worried she'll never find a husband. I didn't expect your brother to fancy her. This will definitely make us much closer."

Carmen and Lily had a very close relationship. Back when Lily was just a mistress, everyone else scorned her, and Carmen was the only one who helped her.

Lily had been certain that the Lamberts would agree. She immediately turned to look at Quentin.

Quentin looked a bit hesitant. After all, Grace and Yancey's engagement had been publicly announced. It would definitely attract a lot of gossip if they suddenly switched things around.

Liam, who had been silent the whole time, suddenly said, "Dad, if you're worried about public opinion, then just give Grace some shares. She's the only one in the family who doesn't have any."

The moment those words fell, the whole place went silent.

Alice's expression soured. She never expected Liam to have those thoughts.

In her mind, the Lambert family belonged to her. Even Liam was a competitor.
