Chapter 309 It’s Too Late

In the photograph, Amelia was beaming, radiant as ever, and Ethan looked every bit the confident man as he held her close.

When Fiona stormed in with the others, Ethan lifted his red–rimmed eyes, grabbed the nearest bottle, and hurled it toward the door in a fit of rage.

“Get out! All of you, get out!”

The bottle smashed against the doorframe, shards scattering everywhere.

Fiona didn’t even flinch. She walked through the wreckage, letting the sharp scent of alcohol wash over her, and stopped right in front of her grandson.

Without a word, she raised her hand and slapped Ethan, harder than she ever had before.

The blow sent Ethan reeling, his ears ringing.

He stared at his grandmother in shock, unable to process what had just happened.

Over the years, she had never laid a hand on him.

Fiona, her voice edged with pain and anger, demanded, “Look at yourself. Is this who you want to be?”

“You really think wallowing here and dragging down the whole company will make Amelia feel

for you? Do you think she’ll come running back just because you’ve hit rock bottom? That’s not going to happen!”

sorry

Every word landed like a punch. Fiona’s voice forced Ethan to see the truth.

“The more you act like this, the more she’ll look down on you. She’ll only feel more certain she was right to leave.”

Ethan sat there, dazed.

The sting of her slap and her words left him reeling. For a moment, a faint glimmer of hope flashed in his otherwise hopeless eyes.

“Grandma, what are you saying?” His voice was shaky, as if clinging to the possibility that things could still change.

Before Fiona could answer, Grace rushed over, unable to watch her son take such a hard hit.

She put a comforting hand on his arm and tried to plead with Fiona. “Mom, why did you slap

“This is all Amelia’s decision. She’s the one who insisted on the divorce. It’s not like Ethan wanted any of this. Now the divorce is all over the news and the company’s stock price is tanking–shouldn’t some of that blame fall on her too?”

At that, Fiona turned, her glare sharp enough to cut. Grace immediately fell silent, shrinking away from the rebuke.

“This is exactly why everything fell apart–you and Ethan never saw Amelia’s worth. That’s how things ended up so out of control.”

Fiona’s anger softened a little as she looked at her grandson still slumped on the floor. Her voice turned gentle, heavy with regret.

“Ethan, get up. Listen to me.”

Ethan hesitated, but with Grace’s help, he slowly got to his feet.

Fiona sighed, her gaze distant. “When the Harlows first arranged for Amelia to marry into our family, to be honest, I didn’t think she was good enough for us, either.”

“She was adopted, with no real background and nothing special except her looks.She hardly seemed a match for the Rowes, let alone my grandson.”

Grace nodded in agreement; she’d always felt that way.

“But over time…” Fiona’s tone shifted, her eyes sharpening. “I took the time to really see her, and realized she was nothing like I expected.”

“She’s independent, resilient, and determined. She has her own opinions and never gives up easily. She’s smart and capable–a rare find, truly.”

“I thought, if only Ethan could put his pride aside and really treat her well, she could become the best partner he could ever hope for, and she’d be a tremendous asset to our family’s business.”

“But what did you do? What did your mother do?

“Grace, you resented her background and made her life difficult from day one. You treated her like an outsider, even like a servant.”

Grace blanched at those words.

Fiona turned to Ethan, disappointment written all over her face. “And you, Ethan! You were her husband, but for six years you gave her nothing but coldness and indifference.

“You flirted with other women and made her the joke of every social circle.

“Do you really think she wanted a divorce because she stopped loving you? She left because both completely let her down.”

Ethan’s whole body tensed, his face drained of color.

Every word from Fiona cut straight through the walls he’d built around his regrets.

“But Ethan, giving up hope and being disappointed aren’t the same thing.

“If you can truly face your mistakes, and if you have the courage to try to make it right, maybe -not definitely, but maybe, things could change.”

“It’s too late…”

Ethan suddenly looked up, and whatever hope he had left was instantly drowned out by pain and jealousy.
