Regret Came Too Late

After Yancey left, Grace was planning to sort through the projects she had to handle next, but she was interrupted when Jodie arrived.

Jodie walked past her desk and entered the CEO's office directly.

"Uncle Ethan!"

Her eyes were full of tears. She had originally planned to complain to him last night, but didn't find him at Palm Bay. Now, her tears flowed freely.

Ethan slightly furrowed his brows at her words.

"This is all Grace's doing! She's so bold! She smashed my forehead and made it this bad. I even bled a lot yesterday. Uncle Ethan, you must punish her severely!" Grace immediately knew what was going on-Jodie was here to report her.

When she was called into the office, she had braced herself, but she hadn't expected Ethan to give Jodie such special attention.

"Mr. Henderson," she called out.

Ethan didn't even look at her, tossing a file toward her.

"You go handle the negotiation for this project," he ordered.

The project was a collaboration with the Yule family, and given Simon's hostile attitude toward her, she knew that going there would likely cost her dearly.

Jodie clearly knew about Grace's grudge with the Yule family, and her eyes gleamed with excitement as she clung to Ethan's arm.

"Uncle Ethan, I knew you were the best to me!"

She smiled smugly, then turned to Grace.

"This is a collaboration with the Yule family. Everyone knows how much they despise you. I'm just curious to see how they'll make things difficult for you. A word of advice, don't really get into a conflict with them. The Yule family can make someone disappear quietly, you know?"
