Regret Came Too Late

The Lambert family and Lily moved fast.

Grace was still recovering at home when she received a call from Joanne. "Grace, are you marrying Hendricks?"

Grace's hand froze as she frowned. "Who told you that?"

Joanne replied, "Hendricks got drunk at Velvet Eclipse today and told everyone you were his future wife. He even said that the Lambert family has acknowledged

it and that your wedding is at the end of the month. Other people were there too. They said that the Lambert family invited them to it."

Grace immediately felt an uneasy feeling in her heart. She pulled out her phone to call Yancey, but he didn't pick up. She had a bad feeling in her heart, so she called Liam instead.

Liam answered with a cheerful tone. "Grace, didn't Hendricks say he was picking you up for your wedding dress fitting? The housekeeper is going to book the venue today."

He added, "You're about to get married, so why aren't you back yet? I saw the dresses this afternoon and thought you already tried them."

So, everyone knew she was getting married-except her.

Grace felt that the situation was completely ridiculous.

She took a deep breath. After she hung up, she still felt a suffocating feeling in her chest. Not a single person had asked her about this. It was as if she had no rights. They just needed to drag her to the venue at the right time.
