Regret Came Too Late

The smugness on Jodie's face was unbearable. That arrogant confidence that someone was backing her up pissed Grace off to no end.

She was still on edge, barely holding it together. After hearing Jodie's words, she picked up a chair and threw it at Jodie.

It had happened so fast that the police officers couldn't even stop her.

Jodie couldn't dodge in time, and a bloody cut appeared on her forehead immediately. She touched the place that was bleeding in shock and almost fainted. "Grace, how dare you?"

The police officer also hurriedly stopped Grace. "Ms. Lambert, we'll lock you up if you keep acting like this!"

It wasn't the first time for Jodie to be hurt by Grace. Her gaze was filled with venom as she pressed her lips into a thin line.

"Fine! Is this how you want to play? Wait and see, I'll personally send you behind bars!" Jodie yelled.

She quickly took out her phone and called Ethan.

Like before, Ethan immediately answered the phone and heard Jodie's cries. "Uncle Ethan, I'm injured. There's a lot of blood coming out of my forehead."

Ethan was calm as he asked, "Where are you?"

"The same police station as last time. Grace is also here. She's the one who hit me."
