Regret Came Too Late

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!"
