Regret Came Too Late (Grace and Ethan) novel Chapter 117

"That bitch! I swear, I'm not letting her get away with this!"

As soon as Jodie hung up, she jumped into all her group chats and started blasting Grace's name—painting her as some evil, manipulative monster while praising Alice like she was a saint.

She was part of the Henderson family and, being naturally social, was in several group chats.

It took less than half an hour for the rumor of Grace pushing Alice down the stairs out of jealousy and making her lose the baby to blow up across her entire social circle.

The Lambert and Henderson families had been deep in wedding plans, but now, they'd become the talk of the town—a punchline in every whispered conversation. Of course, they were furious.

"Damn it!" Jordan growled. He hurled the cup in his hand furiously, and it struck Andrew square in the forehead.

Not long ago, Andrew's scandal with Lily had become public knowledge. And Yelena was no easy one to deal with either. She'd been showing up at Henderson Residence day after day, crying and complaining, driving Jordan to the brink.

He had been so fed up he shut the doors to guests for an entire week. And now, to top it all off, Yancey's first child was gone. His chest heaved with rage, his face going pale with fury.

"That Grace is nothing but a curse. Handle it. I want her taken care of," he ordered.

First, she had been the reason Ethan ended up in a wheelchair, and now, she had caused the death of his great-grandchild. He was done showing mercy.

When Jordan gave the order, nobody in Druville could defy it. But the people he sent to deal with Grace returned with bad news—she had holed up in Ethan's villa in Palm Bay.

Jordan had always been most proud of Ethan. He had been brilliant from a young age and had never made a single mistake in his life. Even after moving abroad to recover from his injury, he had made a name for himself on Varnell Street.

The Henderson family practically considered him a gift from the heavens. Someone like him couldn't be dragged down by a jinx like Grace.

But Jordan had his pride. As the family patriarch, stooping to deal with a young woman like Grace himself would be beneath him. So, instead, he had someone quietly look into where the Lambert family stood on the matter.

Ultimately, he went along with their suggestion—lock that jinx away in a psychiatric hospital for the time being.
