Regret Came Too Late (Grace and Ethan) novel Chapter 140

Grace ran into Jodie when she returned to the top floor.

Jodie hadn't known she worked at Henderson Group until now. Her eyes widened in shock, and her voice cracked as she screamed, "Grace!"

She quickly strode over, raising her hand as though to slap her, but for some reason, she hesitated and lowered it with a sharp look. Her voice seethed with fury. "How dare you show up here? I get it now. You're here to harass my brother again! How shameless can you be? My brother is getting married!"

Her voice was so loud that nearly everyone in the surrounding workstations could hear.

Grace furrowed her brows. She was ready to respond when Tim suddenly walked over.

Tim was all polite in front of Jodie. "Ms. Henderson, please go in. The CEO is free to see you now."

A flash of joy crossed Jodie's face at his words.

She barely spared Grace another glance before running toward the CEO's office and slamming the door behind her.

Tim watched her retreating figure and then turned to Grace, giving her a cold nod before walking away. The difference in attitude was striking.

Grace didn't care. She sat at her workstation and neatly arranged the files before getting up to go to the CEO's office. She knocked on the door upon arriving.

"Come in."

Ethan sat at his desk with a collection of delicate desserts beside him, likely brought by Jodie. Meanwhile, Jodie was chattering away about recent events.

"Uncle Ethan, I just slapped that person right across the face when they tried to frame me. They were completely stunned. I remember you saying not to hold back when I hit someone, and you'd handle everything afterward!"

Ethan paused momentarily, still holding a pen in his hand, before responding flatly, "Mm, that's very impressive."

Jodie was eager to continue but suddenly noticed Grace was also in the room.

Her eyes flashed with quick disdain. "What are you doing here again?"
