Regret Came Too Late (Grace and Ethan) novel Chapter 234

After Yancey left, Grace was planning to sort through the projects she had to handle next, but she was interrupted when Jodie arrived.

Jodie walked past her desk and entered the CEO's office directly.

"Uncle Ethan!"

Her eyes were full of tears. She had originally planned to complain to him last night, but didn't find him at Palm Bay. Now, her tears flowed freely.

Ethan slightly furrowed his brows at her words.

"This is all Grace's doing! She's so bold! She smashed my forehead and made it this bad. I even bled a lot yesterday. Uncle Ethan, you must punish her severely!"

Grace immediately knew what was going on—Jodie was here to report her.

When she was called into the office, she had braced herself, but she hadn't expected Ethan to give Jodie such special attention.

"Mr. Henderson," she called out.

Ethan didn't even look at her, tossing a file toward her.

"You go handle the negotiation for this project," he ordered.

The project was a collaboration with the Yule family, and given Simon's hostile attitude toward her, she knew that going there would likely cost her dearly.

Jodie clearly knew about Grace's grudge with the Yule family, and her eyes gleamed with excitement as she clung to Ethan's arm.

"Uncle Ethan, I knew you were the best to me!"

She smiled smugly, then turned to Grace.

"This is a collaboration with the Yule family. Everyone knows how much they despise you. I'm just curious to see how they'll make things difficult for you. A word of advice, don't really get into a conflict with them. The Yule family can make someone disappear quietly, you know?"

With Ethan backing her up, Jodie was practically invincible.

Grace felt a slight discomfort in her chest but couldn't figure out why.

She picked up the files on her desk, ready to leave, but then heard Ethan ask, "Are you satisfied now?"

He was asking if Jodie was satisfied with how he had handled Grace.

Jodie smiled smugly, "Yes, absolutely. Uncle Ethan, are you going back to Henderson Residence tonight? I think Grandpa wants everyone to be there. He must have something big to announce, right?"

Grace closed the door behind her, still feeling a knot in her stomach.

But she quickly adjusted. After all, she wasn't anyone important to Ethan. Of course, he would favor Jodie.

She smiled bitterly, then recalled the last thing she'd overheard—Jordan probably wanted to announce something regarding Levi. Levi had gone missing, and now no one in the Henderson family could get in touch with him. Jordan would surely want to put pressure on certain people.

But he probably didn't know that his seemingly indifferent youngest son, Ethan, was the one behind it all.

Ethan's appearance and demeanor didn't give away the ruthless side of him.

Grace worked late into the night, well past 10:00 pm. Her discomfort lingered, so she couldn't help but vent to Ed.

"My boss must be blind to be so indulgent toward someone like Jodie."

Ed didn't reply immediately. It took a few minutes for him to respond.
