Regret Came Too Late

Ethan's expression turned even darker. "When we get back to Druville, don't come and see me ever again."

Jodie's face instantly turned pale as she looked at him in disbelief.

No matter how big a mistake she made, Ethan had always forgiven her in the past. But this time, he told her not to see him ever again.

She was on the verge of tears. She quickly knelt beside him and wrapped her arms around his legs. "Uncle Ethan, I didn't mean it. I was just joking with Grace. I didn't know she'd actually go out to sea. I know my mistake now. Please take back what you said."

After listening to this, the local officials were also starting to panic.

"How is this a joke? Going out to sea in this kind of weather is deadly! The waves on the sea are huge, and there may be whirlpools!"

Jodie sniggered internally. That had been the plan all along. She wanted Grace to die in this storm.

With her arms still wrapped around Ethan's legs, she wanted to continue crying, but she heard him call out, "Tim."

Tim quickly pulled Jodie up, and his tone was serious as well. "Ms. Henderson, please don't make my job difficult."

Jodie immediately stood up, but she couldn't help feeling a little smug in her heart. She knew Ethan would forgive her in the end.
