Even standing there meant Grace was at fault.
Yancey happened to arrive at that moment. When he saw the tense standoff in the living room, he quickly rushed over and pulled Alice into his arms. "Grace, what did you do this time?"
He had been doubting whether or not Grace still had feelings for him, but Grace had just come looking for Alice, and it seemed like Grace wanted to harm the child. It was obvious that Grace was blinded by jealousy.
Yancey didn't want to admit it, but he was quite pleased at that moment. "No matter how angry you are, you shouldn't lay a hand on mine and Alice's child."
Grace stood there and looked at their faces. She felt like communicating with them was impossible.
She didn't even say a word, but she was already condemned as the villain.
She turned around to leave, but Carmen shouted out, "Where are the bodyguards? Grab her! Liam is right. She must be mentally ill. Lock her up first!"
Liam was stunned and quickly protested, "Mom, I was just joking."
But as he spoke, his voice gradually went weaker until he finally lowered his head.
Grace was dragged away by a few bodyguards and thrown into the punishment room.
It was a space Alice had specifically set up after moving in. She said it was to punish disobedient maids.
There were no decorations inside. There was just a single wooden stool that was too short to reach the window and a door.
Grace sat on the stool calmly.
When night fell, she heard some footsteps outside.
She tentatively called out, "Liam?"
Liam felt uneasy. After all, Grace was locked up because of what he said.
