Regret Came Too Late

Grace recalled the information Ethan had given her. The relationships between the people involved were crystal clear in her mind

Yancey’s mother, Lily Parker, had risen to her position as the mistress and was indred very beautiful. After pushing the original wife out, her position had remained solid ever

since

h’s tamily background wasn’t impressive–she had three sisters and a younger brother, Hendricks,

The tarnir dynamic, with three daughters and one son, was enough to explain a lot. Hendricks was the youngest, born when his parents were older, and he’d always been focused on marrying off his sisters for a good price while buying himself a house in the capital.

But the youngest daughter, Lily, was diferent. She rose to become the wife of a wealthy man, and her success lifted her entire family

Hendricks, lazy and useless, had latched onto Yancey and built a connection with him. With just a little help from Yancey, the Parker family had no worries when it came to food

and drink

Lib’s success made her two older sisters green with envy.

The eldest, Olivia Parker, had already married into an abusive household. Her husband was a gambler who owed a massive amount of debt. The money she received as her wedding gut had gone to Hendricks‘ education, but despite spending a fortune on tutors, he had never even passed high school

Yelena was picky about men. After seeing Lily’s success in marrying into a rich family, she thought she could do the same. So,

o, after years of waiting, she was in her cos and still unmarried. Luckily, the past few years had been better for her since Grace had been spending money left and right on their family.

Grace ran through all these connections in her mind, feeling increasingly irritated.

Upon seeing that Grace hadn’t spoken, Yelena assumed she had already won the argument.

“Grace, what’s going on with you today? You’re not even trying to pay. Are you not trying to get Yancey to like you anymore? Let me tell you, Yancey listens to me, his aunt Grace snerted. She must’ve been out of her mind before to let these people control her. She grabbed the bag from Yelena’s hands and pointed to a more elegant, classic style behind bet

“Please, give me that one instead.”

The sales clerk looked at Yelena, then at Grace

Velona immediately grew agitated “What are you doing? I want this one! That one’s not suitable for me.”

But the sales clerk brought the other bag up, and Grace tried it on. “Mm, this one’s perfect.”

She took out her phone to make the payment. noveldrama

Yelena’s eyes lit up when she saw the price–the new bag was worth 20 thousand dollars

“Alright, I’ll take this one. Haha! Actually, I could carry this one too.”

She quickly grabbed the bag and tried to put it on her s

shoulder.

Grace yanked it back “Hey, this is for me. If you try to take it, I’ll call the cops.”

Yelena’s expression changed instantly, acting as if she had been ripped off to thousand dollars.

“Grace, let go! This is my bag! Gove it back!!

Grace looked at the sales clerk and asked politely, “You have security here, right?”

The sales clerk inmediately called for security, and a few guards came to hold Yelena back.

Yelena’s eyes never left the expensive bag. Her expression was twisted with pain the entire time.

“Grace, how dare you take my bag! Wait until I tell Yancey. You’ll be crawling back to me, begging for my favor!”

Grace shang the bag over her shoulder and smiled at her. “Go ahead and tell Yancey. He’s the one who told me to stop dealing with people like you. By the way, Hendricks is still in the hospital Dadn’t you know?

Yelena Troze. Hendricks was in the hospital? He’d always be spoiled by the family and had never suffered much

Her gaze lingered on the bug, still reluctant to let it go. “I’m just leaving it with you for a few days. You’ll bring it back to me eventually.”

She shrugged off the guards hands and sneered, “Grace, as long as you still care about Yancey, we’ll have you wrapped around our fingers. Next time, you better have a hundred thesand dollar bug ready for me, or I won’t forgive you.”
