Regret Came Too Late

Yancey felt like he was frozen in place. The most powerful person in the entire Henderson family was Ethan.

But thankfully, even fate didn't allow Ethan to be too perfect. The fact that his legs were crippled allowed everyone else to breathe a sigh of relief.

Ever since they were young, everyone in the family had been living under Ethan's shadow.

They were all of a similar age, so why was Ethan just better at everything? Why did everyone feel like they were of a lower status than Ethan?

Lily was right. If Grace was already acting this arrogantly now, then wouldn't he be completely embarrassed by her after she married into the family?

Yancey couldn't allow Ethan to use that against him. At the very least, he should fix Grace's attitude first.

He looked up and noticed that Grace was already gone.

Beside him, Alice was practically beaming with joy. Hendricks was not a good person. Even back in school, Hendricks had gotten some female classmates pregnant. How could he possibly behave himself when he was in the same room as Grace?

Grace was about to be ruined.

It served her right.

Alice was trembling with excitement. If Yancey and Lily weren't nearby, she would have rushed upstairs to eavesdrop. She needed to confirm that Grace had been defiled before she would dare to spread the news everywhere. She would make sure that bitch's reputation was completely destroyed.

Upstairs, Grace didn't bother calling for help when she was dragged into the room. She knew that no one would save her.

The moment the bodyguards shoved her inside, Hendricks immediately locked the door behind her.
