Regret Came Too Late (Grace and Ethan) novel Chapter 267

When Grace went downstairs, she bumped into Jodie, who was just about to walk into the elevator. Jodie was in a hurry to chase after Ethan, and her face was filled with anxiety. But the moment she saw Grace, that anxiety instantly turned into anger.

"Grace! You bitch!"

Jodie was so angry that she raised her hand to slap Grace, but Grace caught her wrist before that.

The receptionists saw the commotion over there and wanted to go over to persuade them. They were afraid that Grace's conflict with Jodie would lead to them being blamed by the hotel manager again.

But before they could get there, they saw Grace raise her hand and slap Jodie.

Jodie's head tilted slightly as her lips quivered. "You dare slap me?"

Grace scoffed at her words and crossed her arms. "Ms. Henderson, this isn't the first time that I've slapped you. I've even put you in the hospital. Guess you haven't learned your lesson, have you? If I were you, I'd be more quiet."

The receptionists all stopped in their tracks.

They had been afraid that Grace would get the short end of the stick, but it turned out that she was even more outrageous than Jodie. On top of that, it looked like she and Jodie knew each other. It seemed that Jodie had finally met someone she couldn't push around.

For some reason, they suddenly felt oddly satisfied. They wouldn't mind if Grace gave Jodie another slap across the face.

Grace let go of Jodie's wrist and moved to the side. "I remember you mocking me for being a simp not long ago. But look at you, chasing after Ethan for all these years. And yet, he still has no clue how you feel. Would you like me to tell him on your behalf?"

Jodie's face instantly turned white. Ethan had always treated her as his junior. The only reason she dared to act spoiled around him was also because of that.

If he knew about her feelings toward him, Ethan would definitely keep his distance in the future.

"Don't you dare!"

Grace's expression became cold. She slowly approached Jodie, her eyes full of threat. "I can keep quiet. But it'd be best for you to be more respectful when you see me in the future. Otherwise, I'm afraid I won't be able to control my mouth and I'll end up letting the noble Mr. Henderson find out what kind of inappropriate thoughts his precious junior has of him. Tsk, tsk."

"Grace!" Jodie was so angry that her body couldn't stop shaking, but there was nothing she could do.

Grace gave her a wave before going straight to the hotel's restaurant.

Jodie bitted her bottom lip fiercely, her eyes filled with malice. While cursing Grace in her mind, she swore to make sure Grace could never go back to Druville this time.

…

After Grace was done with her meal, she returned to her room, only to find Tim already waiting for her.
