Regret Came Too Late (Grace and Ethan) novel Chapter 80

As soon as Lily said that, Alice laughed out loud and immediately raised her glass. "Wow, congratulations, Grace. Doesn't that mean you'll be even closer to Mrs. Henderson now? Once you have a baby, I'll be sure to shower your child with gifts."

Her eyes were practically sparkling with amusement. She never expected the troublemaker, Hendricks, to take an interest in Grace.

Everyone knew that Hendricks had dropped out of middle school and was addicted to gambling. If it weren't for Lily protecting him, Hendricks would have been behind bars a long time ago.

The only reason he could mix around with people like Yancey was purely because he had Lily as a sister. Otherwise, someone of his status would never have gotten close to these social circles.

Alice was beyond delighted. She felt that Grace deserved this kind of scumbag.

Everyone present seemed to be delighted, except for Grace.

Grace picked up a glass of wine on the table and splashed the wine right on Lily.

It was something no one expected.

Lily definitely didn't expect it. It took her several seconds to even realize that wine was dripping down her face.

Grace sneered, "Mrs. Henderson, is your head clear now? What do you take me for? Your brother isn't even fit to wipe my shoes, and you think I'd marry him? Goodbye!"

She added, "As for my engagement with Yancey, I'll end it whenever I want. Looks like I don't need your approval at all. Do you really think you matter that much?"

She turned to leave, but Lily slammed her hand on the table. "Grace!"

Lily had been humiliated like this before, but that was when she was just a mistress. It had already been years since she succeeded in climbing to the top. The fact that she was being humiliated like that again caused her to snap and lose all rationality. "Stop her!"

Several bodyguards immediately moved to block Grace.

"Grace, you should be grateful that my brother is willing to marry you. You were never welcome in the Lambert family to begin with. Do you really think of yourself as an heiress of the Lambert family?

"If you don't have shares, then you're nothing! Now, take this opportunity to bond with Hendricks. He's far better than you are."

Two bodyguards stepped forward and blocked Grace's path.

Grace frowned and turned to look at Lily. "Are you trying to force me now?"

Lily did not bother putting up an act anymore. After Grace splashed that drink on her, she lost all affection for Grace.

She completely ignored Grace and turned to Hendricks. "Hendricks, take her to your usual place. You should have a good talk with her. Sometimes, you just need to be a bit more forceful with women."

Hendricks hadn't expected Lily to be so helpful. There was instantly a grin on his face. "Lily, don't worry. I'll make sure we have a really nice conversation!"

He walked toward Grace with a confident expression.

Grace never expected Lily to resort to something like this. Her fingers brushed against something inside her purse, and she only let out a sigh of relief when she saw that the call had already gone through.

She found the situation utterly ridiculous. She couldn't even rely on her parents for this, and the only person she could think of was Ethan.
