Regret Came Too Late

Hours later, the photos of Yancey and Alice spread throughout the city, causing an uproar.

Grace's phone was about to burst from the sheer number of calls, and they were all from Yancey. But she didn't want to pick up. Frowning, she directly blocked his number.

Just then, Liam called her. "Grace, did you see those photos? I'm worried they'll upset you."

"I've seen them. I'm fine."

Liam's expression darkened. "Alice must have done that on purpose. Her mind is really twisted. She wants to make sure you and Yancey never have a chance."

Liam, though aware of Grace's memory loss, still believed that she would go back to liking Yancey if she were to regain her memories.

Grace didn't feel like explaining. She opened her laptop and got back to work. The follow-up with the Yule family still needed her attention. Although Simon had reviewed the contract, who knew if he would set traps for her later?

"Grace, come home for dinner tonight. Dad's been asking about you. His health is getting worse, and people from Lambert Group have come by a few times, making him so angry he nearly had a heart attack."

Liam's voice sounded helpless as if he didn't know who else to turn to. He was only 19, after all. As he continued, he lowered his voice. "I don't think he has much time left."

Those words made Grace's heart lurch. The last time she saw Quentin, he truly hadn't been doing well.

She set her work aside. "I'll come over right away to check on him."

...

Meanwhile, Alice went to find Carmen. She cried as she buried her face in Carmen's arms.

"Mom, those photos must've been leaked by Yancey. I can't show my face anymore. If he doesn't marry me, who else in Druville will?"
