Regret Came Too Late

Grace felt a warm sensation in her chest, and she reached out to ruffle Liam's hair. "How much was the bag?"

Her question instantly made Liam sneer, but he was also thrilled. At least it meant Grace wanted the bag.

"Over two million dollars, I think. They're calling it a limited edition, but I don't really get it. I'll give it to you in private later, so Alice doesn't get mad."

Liam was used to spending recklessly, with little savings to speak of. Whenever he needed money, he'd ask the family for it. So, when it came time to get the two million dollars, the only option was to sell his car.

From where Alice sat in the living room, she saw the two of them chatting so closely, and her expression soured.

However, she managed to force a smile. "Grace, you're here."

Grace couldn't help but admire Alice's shamelessness. After all the scheming she'd done, including the miscarriage incident, Alice still acted like nothing had happened.

Grace walked slowly toward the couch, but before she could say anything, Alice suddenly kneeled before her, crying.

"Grace, I'm sorry about the child. I was confused for a moment. I keep having nightmares, dreaming that Yancey doesn't want me anymore.

"I've been in so much emotional pain, and my mental state's been deteriorating. The medication didn't help, and that's when I came up with that idea.

"It was my fault. I'll make it up to you. I can transfer the house Mom bought me last time to you."

When the words left Alice's mouth, Grace simply responded flatly, "Alright."

Alice froze mid-bow, her fists tightening instantly.
