Regret Came Too Late

Given his personality, Yancey should've called off the engagement with Grace

right then and there, but he didn't. Instead, he tried calling Chester. When Chester didn't pick up, Yancey sent someone to track him down.

The night before, Ethan's kick had knocked Chester out so fast that he never even saw who hit him. He figured it was just some random do-gooder.

When he woke up in the hospital, fuming, he ordered Grace's photos to be doctored. The end result was filthy, disgusting images that would make anyone sick just by looking at them. Looking at these, he curled his lips.

Since Grace wanted to act all innocent with him while being a slut, Chester wanted everyone to think he had slept with her. He was about to post the photos online when the door to the ward swung open and Yancey walked in.

"Did you take photos of Grace last night when you were with her?" Yancey asked.

Chester didn't actually know who Grace was. Even though gossip about her chasing after Yancey had made the rounds in high society, Chester and Yancey moved in different circles.

"So what if I did? Isn't she just after money? I took these photos last night, Mr. Henderson. I can have her keep you company tonight if you like it."

There had never been anything between Yancey and Grace except for a few hugs. Ever since Alice showed up five years ago, his heart had belonged to her.

But the moment he saw Grace naked in Chester's arms in those photos, a wave of rage crashed over him. How shameless could she be?
