Regret Came Too Late

Henry stood beside Grace and leaned over to whisper something in her ears. Her expression remained calm as she closed her eyes. She would leave the rest to him.

Grace was temporarily held in confinement. As long as Henry could find a breakthrough, she would be set free.

She had initially thought she would be held for three days. But just within three hours after entering her cell, someone had come to inform her, "Ms. Lambert, you can go home now."

Grace was a bit confused. When she walked to the police station's front door, she saw Henry standing there. At first, she thought Henry had gotten her out and was surprised at how capable he was.

"Thank you. I don't know how long I would've been in there if it weren't for you," she said.

Henry sighed. "Ms. Lambert, I didn't do anything. Maybe there's someone else helping you."

Grace couldn't put a finger on who had helped her, so she could only send Henry off.

She then hailed a taxi to get home. When she reached her apartment complex, she saw Yancey standing there.
