Regret Came Too Late

As Grace listened to Liam complain, she apologized over and over. She was shocked to hear that Quentin was bedridden. That explained why Alice had shown up today.

Grace was now holding the partnership contract between Lambert Group and Henderson Group. If she wasn't mistaken, this was the project Quentin had worked so hard on for two years. But now, Henderson Group was walking away with all the benefits, handed to them by Alice herself.
