Regret Came Too Late (Grace and Ethan) novel Chapter 250

Hours later, the photos of Yancey and Alice spread throughout the city, causing an uproar.

Grace's phone was about to burst from the sheer number of calls, and they were all from Yancey. But she didn't want to pick up. Frowning, she directly blocked his number.

Just then, Liam called her. "Grace, did you see those photos? I'm worried they'll upset you."

"I've seen them. I'm fine."

Liam's expression darkened. "Alice must have done that on purpose. Her mind is really twisted. She wants to make sure you and Yancey never have a chance."

Liam, though aware of Grace's memory loss, still believed that she would go back to liking Yancey if she were to regain her memories.

Grace didn't feel like explaining. She opened her laptop and got back to work. The follow-up with the Yule family still needed her attention. Although Simon had reviewed the contract, who knew if he would set traps for her later?

"Grace, come home for dinner tonight. Dad's been asking about you. His health is getting worse, and people from Lambert Group have come by a few times, making him so angry he nearly had a heart attack."

Liam's voice sounded helpless as if he didn't know who else to turn to. He was only 19, after all. As he continued, he lowered his voice. "I don't think he has much time left."

Those words made Grace's heart lurch. The last time she saw Quentin, he truly hadn't been doing well.

She set her work aside. "I'll come over right away to check on him."

…

Meanwhile, Alice went to find Carmen. She cried as she buried her face in Carmen's arms.

"Mom, those photos must've been leaked by Yancey. I can't show my face anymore. If he doesn't marry me, who else in Druville will?"

Carmen felt sad too. After all, this was her daughter, whom she had spoiled for years. If she hadn't been kidnapped all those years ago, she wouldn't have turned out this way. It was all because of the Lambert family's wrongdoing.

She gently patted Alice's back. "Don't cry. I'll call Yancey and talk to him."

Alice sobbed uncontrollably, almost fainting.

Liam sat on the other end of the couch, no longer sympathizing with her despite her tears. Who knew if Alice was just putting up an act?

Once Carmen dialed Yancey's number, he quickly picked up. When she mentioned Alice, his tone became agitated. "Mrs. Lambert, I'm taking this call because you're close to my mom. Last night, I got drunk, and Alice took me home. That's when those photos were taken. I was blind back then. How could I let someone like her come between me and Grace?"

"Yancey, you've been with Alice for years—"

"Don't mention Alice to me! She knows exactly what she did. I'll never marry someone like her. It's her fault she's never getting married!"

He hung up without another word.
