Regret Came Too Late

Grace took a step back, accidentally making a sound. Ethan's gaze turned toward her.

Through the narrow gap of the barely-opened door, their eyes met. The darkness in his gaze hadn't yet faded, and at that moment, he wore a half-smiling, half- mocking expression.

Feeling a little awkward, Grace simply pushed the door open and walked right in.

The moment Levi saw her, his expression twisted into madness.

"You bitch! It's all because of you! I wouldn't be in this situation if not for you! It's all your fault!" he screeched.

Grace took a deep breath. Under Ethan's watchful eyes, she lifted her leg and kicked Levi square in the head.

His head snapped to the side, and a few teeth flew out. His mouth was now full of blood.

Grace had read enough cases of power plays and backstabbing in the business industry to know exactly what she had to do now.

She quickly turned to pledge her loyalty to Ethan. "Mr. Henderston, I didn't actually use any pills he gave me. Levi kidnapped my boyfriend to threaten me.

"I had no choice but to replace the pills with vitamins, just to make him think I had actually poisoned you. I regretted it afterward, which is why I brought him here to make amends."

After saying that, she squatted in front of Levi.
