Regret Came Too Late

Carmen, unable to take it anymore, slapped Alice once again. She was so enraged that her shoulders were trembling.

The loss of her husband, combined with seeing her favored daughter in such a ghastly state, made her think this was perhaps her own karma catching up to her.

Seeing Carmen's expression, Alice realized that Quentin really was dead and started cackling again.

"Mom, let me be honest with you-Grandpa's death back then was also related to me. I told him that Grace was whoring herself out to a bunch of guys just to chase after Yancey. The old man was too weak in the head to handle it, so he went and croaked. Good riddance! He had it coming!

"I wanted you all to know that anyone who gets mixed up with Grace is gonna get burned. Grandpa was the first to learn that lesson, and now, it's Dad's turn. All these years, you've hated Grace. You never once suspected I was the one pulling the strings, did you?

"So what if you know now? As far as Grace is concerned, you're no longer family and she'll never forgive you. Also, I've already signed over my shares to Edric. Lambert Group is about to go to someone else. You all deserve it, you bunch of lowlife trash!"
