Regret Came Too Late (Grace and Ethan) novel Chapter 260

Carmen, unable to take it anymore, slapped Alice once again. She was so enraged that her shoulders were trembling.

The loss of her husband, combined with seeing her favored daughter in such a ghastly state, made her think this was perhaps her own karma catching up to her.

Seeing Carmen's expression, Alice realized that Quentin really was dead and started cackling again.

"Mom, let me be honest with you—Grandpa's death back then was also related to me. I told him that Grace was whoring herself out to a bunch of guys just to chase after Yancey. The old man was too weak in the head to handle it, so he went and croaked. Good riddance! He had it coming!

"I wanted you all to know that anyone who gets mixed up with Grace is gonna get burned. Grandpa was the first to learn that lesson, and now, it's Dad's turn. All these years, you've hated Grace. You never once suspected I was the one pulling the strings, did you?

"So what if you know now? As far as Grace is concerned, you're no longer family and she'll never forgive you. Also, I've already signed over my shares to Edric. Lambert Group is about to go to someone else. You all deserve it, you bunch of lowlife trash!"

Carmen's eyes were filled with disbelief. She even thought she might have misheard.

"What did you say? Even your Grandpa…"

"That's right. That was all me! Ever since I returned to the Lambert family, Grace has never bullied me. It was me. I faked everything. And all of you were so naive that you believed it! Haha! Serves you right for all the crap you put me through. My return to the Lambert family was about settling the score, and now, look at you all—miserable as sin!"

Carmen grabbed her by the collar. "Why would you do this? Why? Your adoptive parents treated you well. Why?"

"Ha! Why? Desperation breeds corruption. What good is their kindness to me? What I want is a wealthy life—a life where people envy me wherever I go. You have no idea how terrifying it is to have a mentally challenged brother.

"Everyone whispers and points fingers. Some even thought I was his wife. I hated it all. The whole world wronged me, so the whole world owes me. And I want revenge on all of you!"
