Regret Came Too Late

If she didn't know that Ethan was naturally indifferent, Grace would've thought he had scared her on purpose just now.

But Ethan wasn't that cruel.

Grace rubbed her knees while muttering to herself.

Ethan wheeled past her, and she quickly followed. After today, she truly didn't dare act recklessly in front of this man anymore-someone who could be so ruthless even to his own family.

Her gaze was a little complicated as she carefully pushed his wheelchair, recalling the disbelief in Levi's eyes before his death.

He must never have imagined that Ethan would act so decisively, not even hesitating for a second.

Being someone like this and having no interest in women basically meant Ethan had no weaknesses.

Grace felt chilled to the bone. A person without flaws-it was no wonder he could hold his position in Druville and even make a name for himself abroad.

Back in the main hall, she noticed a few drops of blood on his leather shoes, likely from earlier.

She quickly grabbed some tissues and squatted down to wipe them clean.

Ethan watched her submissive and obedient movements, knowing she was trying to win his favor.

She had always been this way-adaptable and clever.

He said nothing.

Grace tossed the tissues into the trash and straightened up. "Um... Mr. Henderson, I'll head out now."

"Leaving already? You dragged Levi here with such fanfare. Didn't you think someone from the Henderson family might notice?"

Grace's expression immediately settled into a calm one. "That's because I knew you'd handle it."
