Regret Came Too Late

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. Erowning, 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, chfor dinner tonight. Dad's been asking about you.

His health is getting worse, and people from Lambert Group have cby 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 tleft." Those words made Grace's heart lurch. The last tshe saw ---- Quentin, he truly hadn't been doing well. She set her work aside. "I'll cover 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 becagitated. "Mrs. Lambert, I'm taking this call because you're close to my mom. Last night, I got drunk, and Alice tookhome.

That's when those photos were taken. I was blind back then. How could I let someone like her cbetweenand 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. Carmen's expression grew dark. Yancey had no respect for her. Alice, sensing his attitude, cried even harder.

"I helped him back last night, but our first twas when he was drunk. Now, he's pushingaway. Last night, he even mistookfor Grace and promised he would treatwell for the rest of his life. I was so stupid, thinking if I treated him well enough, he would change his mind." rmen felt a sharp pang of sympathy. To be mistaken for someone else in bed was heartbreaking. "Alice, maybe you should stop chasing after Yancey.

Lethelp you find someone better." Alice's eyes flashed, and her voice was full of bitterness. "Find someone better for me? Where are you going to find someone for me, Mom? I'm ruined for life now. And it's all because of who? "Yancey was the one who cafterfirst. Now, he thinks I'm embarrassing, and he's kickedto the curb. The whole circle is avoiding me... Unless Ethan wants me.

If he does, maybe people will look my way again." At that moment, her eyes burned with a fierce, intense heat. Exactly. With Ethan's status, no one would dare touch her again if he took her in. Liam, overhearing this, couldn't keep silent anymore. He stood up, his voice harsh. "Alice, do you really not know your place? Even without all these rumors, Ethan would never pick you! Do you even know what kind of person he is? You really have no self- awareness! ---- His words hit Alice hard.

Her eyes went wild as she swept everything off the coffee table, smashing it to the floor. "He can be interested in that bitch, Grace, so why can't he consider me? I just didn't have the chance to get close to him. If I did, he'd never leave me." Liam was stunned by her shameless words. He had known Alice was cunning, but hearing her say this was still a shock. Alice didn't think she had said anything wrong. The thought of Ethan liking Grace made her want to destroy everything.

The man she had desperately tried to get was now secretly in love with the woman she despised the most. The fact that she hadn't completely lost it yet was a miracle. If she couldn't be happy, then no one else would be. Liam was so angry that he went straight upstairs, not wanting to stay and listen to any more of this nonsense. Alice suddenly collapsed in front of Carmen, crying as she pleaded, "Mom, please help me.

After Grace comes by our place, please take her phone away and use Dad's situation to keep her here. As long as I get Ethan, I'll do anything you want. Otherwise rather die!" She threw a glass to the floor, and in a moment of madness, she reached for a broken shard and was about to cut her neck. Carmen was horrified, her face draining of all color. She realized Liam was right-Ethan was no ordinary man. Many women in Druville lusted after him but couldn't win him over.

skin.

How could Alice, with her tarnished reputation, have a chance? "Alice, don't do this..." Carmen tried to persuade her, but the sharp glass had already pierced Alice's Panicked, Carmen quickly nodded. "Okay, okay, I agree. I'll do whatever you want! Just please don't hurt yourself. Even if no one wants you, the Lambert family will always take care of you." Alice's eyes were filled with disgust. Being unwanted by any man was worse than being killed.

She thought that she would soon have Ethan wrapped around herm finger. Those who had laughed at her would soon be proven wrong.
